An innovative partnership brought the Glenbow Museum in Calgary, Alberta and leaders from the Blackfoot community together to document the culture, beliefs, traditions, artifacts, and more of the Blackfoot people. The Story of the Blackfoot People: Niisitapiisinni is the first time Blackfoot elders and spiritual leaders have chronicled the important facets of Blackfoot life and history to be shared with the world. This book provides a rare view into the lives, both past and present, of the Blackfoot people, including traditional stories, sacred places, dances and ceremonies. You'll learn about the sacred connection the Blackfoot people share with nature and their environment while also touching on the relationship between the tribe and the governments of the United States and Canada.
This book gives us a glimpse into the enduring strength and fortitude of the Blackfoot people. You will gain a better understanding of the importance and challenges of combining ancient traditions with modern life that the Blackfoot people face today as they honor and preserve their legacy.
