Interesting Local Banff History
Banff Indian Trading Post的点评
点评：The Banff Indian Trading Post is a lot more than a souvenir tourist shop. Located near Banff Ave, this unassuming log cabin is an important part of Banff's local history as we learned during a Town Walking Tour hosted by the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel.
In the early 1900s, a man named Norman Luxton settled in Banff after coming to the hot springs to recover from a failed attempt to cross the Pacific Ocean in a two man boat. He started a newspaper and set up the trading post from which he traded with the local Indigenous nations. Luxton operated the store with a partner - today the the Trading Post is owned by the partner's daughter who had to agree to Luxton's request that the store be preserved as it has always been.
On display inside the Trading Post is a mummified creature named Herman the Merman who also has an interesting backstory. Luxton wanted to start a canoe club on Lake Minnewanka but no one was interested in coming to the haunted lake. Luxton purchased Herman, a "Fiji Mermaid" that was a taxidermy sideshow hoax - the torso of a monkey was attached to the body of a large fish. Luxton staged a struggle with this mer-man as a successful exorcism of the lake.
Aside from Herman the Merman, the Trading Post houses a large taxidermy collection including a huge brown bear. The Trading Post also features Indigenous artwork and crafts, many of which are for sale.
Next door is the Buffalo Nations Luxton Museum, another venture started by Luxton - it is currently operated by the Buffalo Nations Cultural Society.

翻译：班夫印第安贸易站绝不仅仅是一家售卖纪念品的旅游商店。它坐落于班夫大道附近，这座其貌不扬的木屋其实是班夫地方历史的重要组成部分——这一点我们在费尔蒙特班夫温泉酒店组织的城镇徒步导览中有所了解。
20世纪初，有个名叫诺曼·勒克斯顿的人，在试图驾驶双人船横渡太平洋未果后，为疗养身体而来到了这里的温泉区，并定居于班夫。他创办了一份报纸，还设立了一个贸易站，借此与当地的原住民族进行贸易往来。卢克斯顿与一位合伙人共同经营这家商店——如今，该贸易站归那位合伙人的女儿所有。她答应了卢克斯顿的请求，将商店维持其原有的模样。
在贸易站内展示着一只名为“人鱼赫尔曼”的木乃伊生物，它也有一段颇为有趣的来历。卢克斯顿原本想在明尼万卡湖上创办一个独木舟俱乐部，但没人愿意前往这座“闹鬼之湖”。于是他买下了“斐济美人鱼”赫尔曼——那其实是一个标本制作的骗局：一只猴子的躯干被接到了一条大鱼的身上。卢克斯顿还假扮与这个“人鱼”搏斗，以此作为驱除湖中邪灵的仪式。
除了“人鱼赫尔曼”之外，这家贸易站还收藏了大量标本，其中包括一只体型庞大的棕熊。这家贸易站还展售原住民的艺术品与手工艺品，其中许多都可供购买。
隔壁就是布法罗民族卢克斯顿博物馆，这也是由卢克斯顿创办的又一个项目；目前该博物馆由布法罗民族文化协会负责管理。
