Who We Are
The four Blackfoot tribes have inhabited our traditional lands for time immemorial. We are a People of terraformers, Land Keepers, and storytellers that seek to continue the legacy of our ancestors by preserving our rich cultural heritage and deep connection to our territory: Kitaowahsinnoon.
Blackfoot Lands & Tribes
We are called The Children of the Plains, and our people comprise approximately a quarter of the Indigenous population of Alberta, Canada. The Kitaowahsinnoon of the four Blackfoot Tribes are vast and extend from south of the North Saskatchewan River, east of the Rocky Mountains, south into North Dakota and south west to the Wyoming border.
Our Story
With a history that spans over a millenia, the story of the Blackfoot Peoples is immense. We are the original inhabitants of our lands, predating the establishment of contemporary North America by many generations. Our history and culture continues to be validated by an increasing number of archaeological findings, proving that the Blackfoot Peoples are inextricably rooted in our traditional lands.
The Siksikaitsitapi
The Siksikaitsitapi or Blackfoot Confederacy Tribal Council was established in order to unify the respective histories of the four Blackfoot Confederacy Tribes to ensure the continuity and thriving of all Blackfoot peoples as both the traditional and current Land Keepers of this area.
Operational since the year 2000, we serve to bring together, strengthen, expand, and establish sovereignty for all Blackfoot Peoples. Our goal is to ensure that our collective story is continued throughout time by way of advocacy, political action, and various programs that help empower our communities.
