Our Lands & Tribes
The Siksikaitsitapi
The Blackfoot Confederacy Council
The Blackfoot Confederacy is a Tribal Council that consists of the four Blackfoot Nations: Kainaiwa–Blood Tribe, Siksika, Peigan–Piikani and Aamskapi Pikuni. The Siksikaitsitapi was established with the intention of establishing unity among the Nations in order to solve collective issues and expand opportunities for the Blackfoot people. We work alongside external governing bodies such as the Government of Alberta, Indigenous Services Canada, and the Assembly of First Nations to preserve our right to self-determination and ensure a bright future for all Niitsitapi.

Kitaowahsinnoon
The territory of the Niitsitapi, Kitaowahsinnoon, has been our home for time immemorial. It has sustained our communities for thousands of years and was entrusted to us by our Creator. We are tasked with living harmoniously with the lands by communing with them through song and ceremony and by continuing our traditions. Kitaowahsinnoon is punctuated by many sacred sites that we continue to connect with such as Ninastako (Chief Mountain), Kai’skah’piiks (Porcupine Hills), and the North Saskatchewan River.
