Blood 148A

Reservation Indian reserve of the Blood (Kainai) First Nation

Indian reserve in southern Alberta associated with the Blood (Kainai) Nation; primarily a community locale rather than a developed tourist destination, though cultural events occur by arrangement.

Blood 148A is an Indian reserve associated with the Kainai Nation (the Blood) in southern Alberta. It is one of several reserve parcels belonging to the Kainai people.

As reserve land, it functions primarily as a residential and community area rather than a visitor attraction; there are no formal tourist facilities listed for the parcel itself. Activities and access are governed by the First Nation that administers the reserve.

The parcel sits in southern Alberta near the Canada-United States border within the broader territory of the Kainai Nation.
