Siksikaitsitapi

Siksikaitsitapi: Stories of the Blackfoot People brings together seven authors who share stories rooted in both oral traditions and personal experiences. Many of the stories are presented in both Blackfoot and English, accompanied by full-colour illustrations and photographs that bring Blackfoot traditional and contemporary cultures to life. The Blackfoot Confederacy consists of the Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, and Amskapi Piikuni Nations of Southern Alberta and Montana.

• Payne Many Guns captures how the Blackfoot People live in harmony with the land, animals, and stars in their traditional homelands.
• Crystal Many Fingers shares a delightful modern tale about animals, their gifts, and their purpose on Earth.
• Sheena Potts beautifully illustrates the many ways love is woven into Blackfoot traditions and culture.
• Tim Fox tells a humorous story about mice celebrating, much to the curiosity of the raven Napi and a group of dogs who want to join in.
• Marlene Yellow Horn reflects on the teachings she received as a child, offering a personal account of the Elders' traditional and sacred knowledge.
• DerRic Starlight shares the tale of Morning Star and his diverse, loving family.

The book includes a foreword by Alayna Many Guns.
