This includes the Aamskapi Pikuni Nation in the USA, and three in Canada: Kainai Nation -Blood Tribe, Siksika Nation, and Piikani Nation. The traditional lands of the Blackfoot, \u201cNiitsitapi\u201d, include the Rocky Mountain East Slopes Watershed or, \u201cMistakissts\u201d from the North Saskatchewan headwaters to the Yellowstone River and out onto the prairies of what is now Alberta, Saskatchewan, Montana, and Wyoming. Rich in culture and biodiversity, the Rocky Mountain east slopes watershed, and the rivers that it feeds across the Great Northern Plains are under tremendous threat. Exponential growth in land disturbance, increased frequency and intensity of floods and droughts, and dwindling populations of federally listed and other culturally significant species together highlight the risks faced by the region. \n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d4cd9a about-links elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4d4cd9a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe ancient knowledge systems of the Blackfoot People were not set aside through colonization, in fact, the oral customs that embody Niitsitapi Paitapiisyinn, \u201cBlackfoot Ways\u201d, continue to be practiced today. One example is the exercise of sovereignty through the Buffalo Treaty, among other efforts and initiatives. Including the ongoing practice of ceremonies and passing down creation stories along with other oral customs. Drawing on and continuing the inherent Blackfoot ways of Being, Valuing, Knowing, and Doing, form the basis of the hub as a framework for reconciliation-based watershed governance, much needed towards transforming current environmental management, policy and science.
