I presume that the portion on Tsuut'ina land had to be named Tsuut'ina Trail as part of the land swap deal. (I have a copy of the agreement somewhere, but I don't really want to go fishing for it at the moment, hahaha.) It is a bit of a slap in the face to name the road after another tribe, one which had essentially no involvement in the road's development. I'm guessing that Alberta Transportation followed through but in the bare minimum way possible, such that literally only the part of the road on Tsuut'ina land is named Tsuut'ina Trail, otherwise keeping the Stoney name on the rest of it, leading to this malarkey where Tsuut'ina Trail begins/ends at (presumably) Tsuut'ina Parkway and Fish Creek Blvd, instead of everything between Glenmore and 22X.
