Piikani Flag Press Release Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council 711 Central Avenue, Suite 220, Billings, Montana 59102 Ph: (406) 252-2550Fax: (406) 254-6355 For Immediate Release Contact: William Snell Telephone: 406-252-2550 Email: [email protected] Date: May 5, 2018 PIIKANI NATION OF CANADA TO JOIN THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN TRIBAL LEADERS COUNCIL Key topics: Canada, Piikani Nation, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Tribes On June 6, 2018, 10:30-11:30, at Swords Park on the Billings Rimrocks, weather permitting, the Piikani Nation will be presenting their nation’s flag to the Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council (RMTLC) for formal recognition of their accepted petition to join the Council. The Piikani Nation is a member of the Blackfoot Confederacy, along with the Blackfeet Nation of Montana. The location will pay respect to the Piikani’s historic raid on Manuel Lisa’s company on May 31, 1823. Manuel Lisa was a fur trader and slave trader notorious throughout Montana. The raid, carried out by the Piikani, was responsible for causing Lisa’s company to go bankrupt, ending the Missouri Fur Company’s control of the region. This was an early event in the efforts to stem the trade in human misery that today is manifested in the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. Sacagawea was known to have been a child victim of trafficking, and post-the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the teenaged-mother endured the confines of Lisa’s trading post on the Missouri –a historical parallel to a contemporary issue. In that spirit, the Piikani will unveil a proposal to advance cross-border cooperation on the issue of Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women. The ceremony is to take place during the quarterly board meeting, following the 195th anniversary of the battle. About Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council RMTLC is dedicated to improving health, economic development, and education for Tribes and their members through a variety of programs, policy recommendations, and Tribal Leader meetings. RMTLC also endeavors to coordinate advocacy and promote the similar interest of member Tribes through various collaborative initiatives and projects.

  • Indigenous People and Fresh Water Management
    MAY 2021 Indigenous People and Fresh Water Management ESTABLISHING A CANADA WATER AGENCY Artwork provided by Onchaminahos School Saddle Lake About Keepers of the Water We are First Nations, Métis, Inuit, environmental groups, concerned citizens, and communities working together for the protection of Water, air, land, and all living things, today and tomorrow, in the Arctic Ocean Drainage Basin. Project Background Keepers of the Water learned that the Government of Canada is starting a Canada Water Agency and we feel it is important to be involved in this process, to have oversight and provide Indigenous input and ensure our voices are included from the beginning. Recognizing there has been decades of work done already, we look at the current state of the Waters and see there is still a lot of work to be done. KOW was provided funding from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) for research and moderation of four workshops on freshwater to be held with four Indigenous communities. The information collected from the Freshwater Workshops will inform a report to the Government of Canada and also informed this booklet. An online survey was also conducted to help us understand Indigenous Peoples’ needs and concerns when it comes to Fresh Water, with the intention of helping to create change that will help protect fresh water for now and future generations. The responses will help to inform Keepers of the Waters’ consultation with the Government of Canada in the development of a Canada Water Agency. Artwork provided by Onchaminahos School Saddle Lake NIPIY (cree) TU (dene) AOHKÍÍ (blackfoot) Water is a sacred precious gift from Creator.
