Description
In 2009, the Iinnii Initiative was launched by leaders of the four tribes that make up the Blackfoot Confederacy (Blackfeet Nation, Kainai Nation, Piikani Nation, and Siksika Nation) to conserve traditional lands, protect Blackfeet culture, and create a home for the buffalo to return to. Join Termaine Edmo, the Climate Change Coordinator for the Blackfeet Nation, for an update on this program, focusing on cultural and climate adaptive projects such as harvesting traditional soil amendments, sustainable land usage, and the introduction of fire back into the landscape to regenerate culturally.
