Throughout the walk you can learn about the traditional uses and purposes of the plants native to the area. This is also a chance to learn about the creation stories of the Blackfoot peoples and the plants themselves. Those who take the walk are encouraged to consider their place on traditional Siksikaitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy) land as well as the shared connections between the people and the land itself. The Iisskisiniip Coulee Plant Walk is a great way to learn about Blackfoot cultures and gain more mindfulness about our place on traditional Blackfoot land.
