About Us
Enhancing Indigenous Communities Through Cultural Heritage and Environmental Education
Indigenous peoples are the heartbeat of the Americas, yet they often face challenges in accessing the support needed to thrive. We are dedicated to empowering individuals and communities by providing the tools, guidance, and mentorship essential for continuing or beginning their journey as Niitsitapii.
Our founding members—Bernadine Tallman, Juanita Tallman, and Jace Heavy Runner—carry the rights and responsibilities entrusted to them within Blackfoot communities, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of the heritage we share.
If you’re passionate about making a difference, we invite you to join our mission as a mentor, specialist, or member. Together, we can inspire and uplift future generations.

Indigenous Preservation and Maintenance
We are committed to safeguarding Indigenous cultural heritage and languages through the creation of learning materials and the careful collection of resources.
Let us assist in preserving old photos, documents, and other invaluable materials. Our services include:
Digitization of photos and documents to ensure their longevity.
Data storage for secure and accessible preservation.
Accepting donations of educational materials and cultural artifacts to enrich our shared resources.
Indigenous communities must lead the management of our heritage, building systems that uphold respect, authenticity, and sovereignty over our cultural resources.
