Siksikaitsitapiiyssini (Blackfoot way of Life)

Connecting people back to the culture through elder knowledge.

The goal of this project is producing a Nitsitapii curriculum that consists of modules with specific learning outcomes related to Blackfoot bio-cultural diversity. These modules will include learning goals, materials, and incentives of those that will engage in the modules. The modules will then become available for all tribal programs, schools, and any outside entity to use in reconnecting people to traditional systems and to the landscape. This project is important because many of our people do not know how to access the culture and to relearn our practices that have not been lost. Many of the participation of these modules will come from tribal programs that are serving people with high levels of trauma and are seeking help for various negative coping mechanisms.
