Recognition
The city of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, east of Fort Macleod, has named a boulevard in Jerry Potts' honour. In about 1867 Jerry was elected king of fire (okmakak) while he was staying at the Peigan (Piikani) encampment.
On 8 September 1992 Canada Post issued 'Jerry Potts, Legendary Plainsman' as part of the Folklore, Legendary Heroes series. The stamps were designed by Ralph Tibbles, based on illustrations by Deborah Drew-Brook and Allan Cormack. The 42ยข stamps are perforated 12.5 and were printed by Ashton-Potter Limited.

“While you are nurturing your newborn, you need someone to nurture you, whether it is with healthful drinks while you’re nursing, or with words of recognition and encouragement as you talk about your feelings. In this state of continual giving to your infant—whether it is nourishment or care or love—you are easily drained, and you need to be replenished from sources outside yourself so that you will have reserves to draw from.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
“No democracy can long survive which does not accept as fundamental to its very existence the recognition of the rights of minorities.”
