Calgary Animated Objects Society is based in the city of Calgary, also known as Moh-kins-tsis (“Elbow” in Blackfoot), Winsheesh-pah (“Elbow” in Stoney), Otos-kwunee (“Elbow” in Cree), Kootsisaw (“Elbow” in T’suu T’ina), and Klincho-tinay-indihay (“Horse Town” in Slavey). The Elbow River gets its name from the distinctive “crook” as it flows towards the Bow River, which gets its name from the reeds used in bow making that grew along its banks.
