Therefore, the Cardston School District, with financial support and direction from Alberta Education (particularly the Native Education Project and the Language Services Branch) undertook a project to identify and evaluate curriculum support materials for use in the classroom.These groups came together and decided that the best place to begin would be to compile a comprehensive listing of all available resources to support the teaching of the language.The resultisthis document, Niiitsi'potwahsini Ki NiPtsitapiipaitapllyssini.Blackfoot Language and Culture: A Selective Bibliography of Supplementary Learning Resources (Early Childhood Services - Grade 12). This selective bibliography has been prepared with classroom teachers, librarians, school administrators and any other educators in mind.We believe that those who will be instructing students in Blackfoot as a second language will find this resource invaluable. Itis a list of selected materials to support the Niitsiitapi'po'ahsina Kii Ni'tsiitapiaipii. Blackfoot Language and Culture Program. A Curricular Program and Guide (Early Childhood ServicesGrade 9) already developed by Alberta Education as well a high school Blackfoot Program that is presently being developed. The funding for this project was made available to the Cardston School District through the Native Education Project of Alberta Education. The objectives and goals of this Blackfoot Language and Culture Resources Project were to conduct a survey of published resources, print and non-print, that could be used for instructional purposes. This involved searching out, identifying and evaluating Blackfoot language and culture learning resources. CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RESOURCES Consideration has been given toall four of the major Blackfoot-speaking groups, identified as the Bloods (Kai:.ai), Peigan (Pikani), Blackfoot (Siksika) and Blackfoot (Southern Peigans = Amsskapipikani).No standard or generic form of the Blackfoot language has been universally adopted as yet.Dialect differences among the four Blackfoot language groups mainly affect the mechanics of the language phonetics and structure.Variations occur in spoken and written Blackfoot according to the geographic location of the Blackfoot people. Therefore, local validation of teaching resources by tribal members is recommended, until such time as a standard written form of the Blackfoot language is developed and/or accepted. Language and culture are inseparable universally.This was so in traditional Blackfoot society and it is still true today. The old Blackfoot language has changed considerably in usage, in the number of people who speak the language and in the addition of words that reflect modern life.The Blackfoot Language and Culture Program incorporates two major components: linguistic aspects and cultural aspects. 1 SELECTION PROCESS To prepare this bibliography, the developers followed a systematic approach based on goals and objectives set out by the Cardston School District. The first step consisted of impartial research to determine where relevant sources of material could be found. The search consisted of site visitations to resource centres, public and school libraries, museums, colleges and universities for review of their collections.Other sources of information were personal contacts, telephone interviews and referrals in the general vicinity where Blackfoot-speaking people live.These areas are primarily southern Alberta and northern Montana.Also included in the search were consultations with professionals involved in the development of the Blackfoot

The impetus for this thesis is two-fold. Firstly, recent decisions by the Supreme Court of Canada, in relation to Aboriginal historical treaties, have demonstrated a shift towards legally recognizing the sovereignty of First Nations. As more First Nations challenge the Federal Government on their fulfillment of treaty obligations, Supreme Court decisions will become more elaborate and exhaustive, providing many Nations with an opportunity to address treaty concerns in a more substantive manner than in the past. Secondly, the Blackfoot are my neighbours and I am very honoured to relay

Old Sun had a dream of a bear with long, soft fur and white as snow. He was advised by his secret helper to get the be.. s skin for a sacrifice to the sun. After questioning the Cree for the best route to the north country, Old Sun was determined to start in the spring. Spring came aad Old Sun and his family began their trip north. The family had plenty to eat and traveled far. Soon the weather began to turn cold and the land more desolate. Old Sun and his son, Two Bows, looked for the white bears and found none.

  • Blood Tribe/Káínai
    Blood Tribe/Káínai – Traditional Knowledge, Land, & Resource Use Source: Springbank Off-Stream Reservoir Project June 2018 Prepared for the Blood Tribe/Káínai By Dermot O’Connor Oak Road Concepts Inc Introduction The Blood Tribe/Káínai (BT/K) is a part of the Blackfoot Confederacy and is based in Southern Alberta on 557.2 square miles of reserve land bordered by the Old Man River, the St. Mary River, and the Belly River. This reserve of 352,600 acres is the largest in Canada (Dempsey, 1997, 28). The population at present is approximately 12,500 (Blood Tribe, 2018). The traditional Blackfoot territory “extends from the Rocky Mountains to the West; to the Sand Hills to the East; to the North Saskatchewan River in the North, and the Yellowstone in the South” (Blood Tribe, 2018; Crop Eared Wolf, 2007, 1). The Blackfoot Confederacy consists of three tribes of Niitsítapi: the Bloods, the Peigans (both in Alberta and Montana) and the Blackfoot. Of these tribes of Blackfoot, the Bloods refer to themselves as Káínai, the Tribe of Many Chiefs (Dempsey, 1997, 10; Blackfoot Gallery Committee, 2013, 11). Some of the sources cited in this document use the terms Bloods, Blood Tribe, Káínai, or Káínai First Nation but for the most part, BT/K is used to refer to the Blood Tribe/Káínai. When Blackfoot history and culture is discussed in this report, it is intended to refer to BT/K ancestors or to the Blackfoot Confederacy as a whole, rather than to any other particular First Nation. Blood Tribe/Káínai – Profile The Blood Tribe/Káínai traces its history through oral traditions, historical research and the archaeological record.

The eltM ing ‘Crown of the Continent’: Visual History of Glacier National Park Abstract Glacier National Park (GNP), located in northwest Montana, US, was signed into existence on 11 May 1910 by then President William Howard Taft. onC servationist George Bird Grinnell was instrumental in lobbying for the park’s creation and negotiated the sale with the Blackfeet Indians. As an editor of the outdoor magazine Field and Stream, Grinnell learned about the region from writer James Willard Schultz and made his first visit there in 1885. Enticed and amazed by the glaciers of the area, the high Rocky Mountain alpine terrain, and the flora and fauna that thrived here, Grinnell advocated for the creation of the park, nicknaming it the “Crown of the Continent.” Grinnell recognized glaciers as a geological wonder.

The dissertation traces cultural persistence through the analysis of texts of history and literature that constructed Blackfoot subjectivity in the half-century following the end of traditional lifeways and resettlement on three reserves in Canada and one reservation in the United States of America. This interdisciplinary thesis has been undertaken jointly in the School of History and Philosophy, and the School of English, Media and Performance Studies. It combines the tools of historical research and literary criticism to analyse the discourses and counter-discourses that served to construct Blackfoot subjectivity in colonial texts. It engages with the ways in which the Blackfoot navigated colonisation and resisted forced acculturation while adopting strategies of accommodation to ensure social reproduction and even physical survival in this period.
