On a beautiful day at the Piiksapi Memorial Arbour, Siksika Community Wellness’ Traditional Wellness Program hosted a meaningful and heartfelt event titled “Gathering Together in Unity: Strengthening Your Spirit.” This special gathering brought our community together to celebrate, learn, and reconnect with the rich traditions of our Blackfoot culture.
The event was more than just a gathering — it was a spiritual and cultural experience that inspired all who attended. From powerful teachings to joyful performances, the day highlighted the strength, wisdom, and unity of Siksika Nation.
✨ Highlights of the Day Included:
- 🎙️ Inspirational teachings from respected guest speakers and the Maotokiiks (Siksika’s Buffalo Woman’s Society)
- 💃 A stunning cultural dance performance accompanied by an energetic drum group
- 🪘 Hand drummers and interactive booths that offered activities and learning opportunities for all ages
From start to finish, the day was filled with connection, culture, and community spirit. Events like these play an essential role in preserving our identity and lifting one another up — a true reflection of what it means to be Siksika Strong.
