The location of Stoney / Nakoda

Stoney, also called Nakoda or Alberta Assiniboine, is a Nakotan Siouan language of the Northern Plains, spoken by two thousand people in Alberta. It is closely related to and shares distinctive features with Assiniboine, though it is hardly more intelligible with it than it is with Dakota Sioux.
