Dogpound

The name Dogpound was first used in 1883 by a surveyor named Fawcett. According to Pearl Stone, in her local history People and Places by Pearl, "[a] Cree tribe called it "Ko-ma-tas-ta-moin" meaning "stolen horse or dog creek".

Yet another Cree name was Mizekampehpoocahan meaning "wolf or dog caught in a buffalo pound." The word "pound" was a term used to describe an impoundment or cliff where buffalo were driven and killed. The animals were driven into a winged corral at the top of a steep cliff. They were driven into this and forced to jump to their death. Often dogs caught in the stampeding herd met the same fate."
