Thanks to work by many people, the Iinnii Initiative took root in 2010, with transboundary talks about bringing buffalo from the Canadian side of the Blackfoot Confederacy to the Blackfeet Nation, strengthening our culture and ecological integrity.

Next, learn about Integrated Planning for the Blackfeet Nation.

Or, learn about how other indigenous communities are adapting to climate change.

From the Chairman:

The Blackfeet (Amskapi Piikani) have long believed that we are the caretakers of the land and resources where we have resided for many thousands of years. To this day, we use this land for spiritual and cultural purposes. The Blackfeet Nation strives to retain its culture in this modern era where impacts to our world are changing, and we recognize we must adapt.”
– Harry Barnes, Chairman, Blackfeet Tribal Business Council
