Siksika Media was honoured to witness the Siksika Elders Gathering (Omah’kita Piiks) Language Symposium held at Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park. This powerful gathering brought together Elders, Knowledge Keepers, educators, and language champions to uplift and revitalize our language.
Our Elders are the heart of our Nation — the keepers of our stories, teachings, and identity. Listening to them is not only important, it is essential to who we are as Siksika people. Their wisdom continues to guide future generations and strengthen our community.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this meaningful gathering possible.
