Oki, Niisikowaaks

On July 26th, 2025, at 10:00 am, Piikani Nation Elders and community members will be offering prayers and having a ceremony for the headwaters of the Oldman River. We will be gathering at the sacred site NAPIS PLAYGROUND, where Napi and the Kootenai Man gambled for who would take which side of the mountains for their people. This site is Blackfoot territory, specifically Piikani. Join us as we practice our inherent right to our ways of life and connection to the land.

Use this link to sign up, as we will be sending information and a map to the location.

As our elders reminded us, "As long as the rivers flow and grass grows."
