Spoonhunter Nato Ksikstaki Aki Blackfoot Confederacy Keepers of the Rocky Mountains Spoonhunter4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND DEDICATION Oki Nisitapii! Nitaniko Nato Ksikstaki Aki—My name is Holy Beaver Woman of the Amaskapi Pikuni (S. PIEGAN). I was raised on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation on Big Badger on the foothills of the Mistakis (mountains). My family hunt, gather plants and timber, graze cattle, fast, and seek knowledge from the area known today as Glacier National Park and Badger Two Medicine. I am the daughter of Dances all Night(Arapaho) and Many Bundle Holder(Pikuni) with children of my own Long Time Bear, Bluebird Woman, Sings from Afar, and Red Paint Woman. My family are members of the Brave Dog Society, Heart Butte Society, Cowboy Society, Racehorse society, the Horns, the Beaver People, and the Thunder Medicine Pipe of the Siksikaitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy). I express my appreciation to the Blackfoot tribal leaders—Siksika, Kainiawa, Abotsa Pikuni, and Amaskapi Pikuni; Blackfeet Tribal Department Directors—water, forestry, land, legal, oil and gas, Chief Mountain Hotshots, and fish and game; Piegan Institute; Blackfeet Community College—Blackfeet Studies, Natural Resources, and Blackfeet History Departments as well as the greenhouse caretakers; Bureau of Indian Affairs— natural resources; Badger Two Medicine Committee; Lewis and Clark Forest Officials; Coalition to Save the Rocky Mountain Front; University of Montana--Dr. Gregory Campbell and Tom Foor; and our sacred bundle keepers—Beaver Bundle caretakers, Thunder Medicine Pipe keepers, the Horns, Brave Dogs, the Natoas, and the Motoki—for the guidance and protection in sharing knowledge to tell the Blackfoot relationship with the Rocky Mountains. I am grateful to my Tatsey and Bullshoe Family of the Amaskapi Pikuni for the “Transfer of Knowledge” to assist throughout the research and presentations of this dissertation. I have only scratched the surface of the collective history that ties us to the mountains through origin stories, survival through subsistence, renewal, and well being as a people among the great beings of our traditional territory—Rocky Mountains. I dedicate this research and it’s findings to the future generations of the Siksikaitsitapi to continue the protection of the landscape for our people as well as our continued utilization of the natural and cultural resources of the Rocky Mountains. I also dedicate this to my mother—Many Bundle Holder—who has been key in the revitalization of ceremonies throughout the Blackfoot Confederacy in the United States and Canada also asserting our rights to camp in Glacier National Park. Lastly, I dedicate this to my family, kinfolk, and the bundle caretakers who maintain and practice the Blackfoot way of life in the Great Rocky Mountains. Hunya!

According to a Blackfoot Creation account, Napi (Old Man) told his people: Here I will mark you off a piece of ground. Napi’s boundary began at a pine in the summit of the Rockies west of Edmonton, Alberta then traveled south taking in country to the east, which included the Porcupine Hills, Cypress Hills, and the Little Rocky Mountains. At the Yellowstone River’s confluence with the Missouri, the territory curved west until it reached a peak in Beaverhead Valley, then returned north to its starting point. Napi told the Blackfeet that this land was theirs (Keller and Turek 44). For many years, the Blackfoot Confederacy controlled this area mapped out by Napi, as well as many of the main routes traversing the mountains, including the Old North Trail. Even though Napi laid out the lands, there remains controversy over who has the rights to the land. The Blackfoot Confederacy must assert their rights and protect the mountains for future generations with current resource exploitation and preservation and preservation laws established by federal land management agencies. Today, the Blackfoot Confederacy continues to utilize cultural and natural resources in the Rocky Mountains stretching from Edmonton, Alberta, to the Yellowstone National Park. The Blackfoot have been granted many natural gifts, not only for subsistence but also for traditional ecological knowledge and cultural practices. They have interacted with the landscape, spiritual realms, wildlife, plants, water beings, and other cultural and natural resources of the Rocky Mountains, considered the “Backbone of the World” (Video

  • Strike Them Hard! the Baker Massacre Play by Ramona Big Head
    “STRIKE THEM HARD!” THE BAKER MASSACRE PLAY RAMONA BIG HEAD B.Ed., University of Lethbridge, 1996 A Project Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies of the University of Lethbridge in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF EDUCATION FACULTY OF EDUCATION LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA March 2009 In memory of Apaisapiaakii (Galina) iii Abstract The oral tradition of story-telling among the Blackfoot is still strong. However, in order to keep the tradition alive for future generations, educators are beginning to step outside the box to allow for innovative ways to bring the stories back to life for students. By writing a play about the 1870 Baker Massacre, and staging it with Blackfoot students from the Kainai Board of Education school system, I have successfully found another way to engage First Nation students from Kindergarten through grade 12. This is the first time the story of the Baker Massacre has been told from the perspective of Blackfoot children. A good portion of the research was taken from oral accounts of actual descendents of the survivors of the massacre. Most of the survivors were young children, including my great-great grandmother, Holy Bear Woman. The Baker Massacre became a forgotten and lost story. However, by performing this play to an audience of approximately 1000 over the course of six performances, including a debut performance in New York City, there is a good chance that this story will not fall into obscurity again. The process of researching, writing and staging this play also had a major impact on my own personal healing and well-being.

  • Vocabulary • 1895 Agreement – in 1895, the Blackfeet Indians and Representatives of the United States Agreed That the United States Could Purchase Land from the Tribe
    Vocabulary • 1895 Agreement – In 1895, the Blackfeet Indians and representatives of the United States agreed that the United States could purchase land from the tribe. This agreement was ratified (made official) by Congress in 1896, and the land eventually became the eastern half of Glacier National Park. Not all of the Blackfeet signed the agreement, however, and members of the tribe have disputes with the U.S. government concerning certain provisions (conditions) within the Agreement. See “Ceded Strip.” • Agricultural activities - Related to producing crops or livestock and other domestic animal products for sale or use. • Allotment - Something given out in portions. • Alpine Meadow - Type of habitat above tree line with short summers, long winters, and composed mainly of grasses and wildflowers. • Avalanche - A large mass of snow or ice that suddenly falls from a mountain slope. • Bergschrund - A deep crack near the head of a mountain glacier. • Bison (buffalo) - Bison are part of the family Bovidae, to which Asian buffalo, African buffalo and domestic cattle and goats belong. Because American bison resembled in some ways old world buffalo (Asian and African buffalo), early explorers to North America began to call them buffalo. The name buffalo is still used interchangeably with bison. • Blackfeet – The Blackfeet are a group of tribes in the United States and Canada, including the Piegan/Pikuni, Blood/Kainai, Blackfoot, and Siksika. Today these bands or tribes have reserved lands in Montana and Canada, but recently their historical homeland included northern Montana east of the Continental Divide and south-central Alberta. Many Blackfeet tribal members have been part of Glacier Park’s activities since its beginning.

    Regional Oral History Off ice University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Richard B. Gump COMPOSER, ARTIST, AND PRESIDENT OF GUMP'S, SAN FRANCISCO An Interview Conducted by Suzanne B. Riess in 1987 Copyright @ 1989 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West,and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between the University of California and Richard B. Gump dated 7 March 1988. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.
