Who was Aatsista-Mahkan?
Aatsista-Mahkan or Running Rabbit was a chief of the Siksika First Nation. He was the son of Akamukai, chief of the Biters band, and following the death of his father in 1871, Aatsista-Mahkan took control of the band. He was known for his generosity and kindness, and for his loyal protection of his family.
In 1877, he was a signatory to Treaty 7, but he and his people continued to follow the bison until 1881, when he and his people were designated to settle on a reserve, 60 miles east of today's Calgary, Alberta.
