Siksikaitsitapi talking circle

Imagine a future where the land and waters are as strong and resilient as the Siksikaitsitapi. Now, imagine your voice helping to make that future a reality.

If you’re a member of the Blackfoot Confederacy, we’d love for you to join us for our upcoming Talking Circle — a chance to speak your truth and help guide solutions that reflect our connection to the land and our responsibility to future generations. Your voice, your stories and your knowledge can help create a path forward that honors both tradition and resilience.

We’ll provide the food; you provide the spirit and the wisdom.

Farming For The Future

Farms that work with nature, not against it, are paving the way for healthier soil, cleaner water, and a balanced climate. Regenerative agriculture doesn’t just restore the land—it restores our connection to it.

Meet Gerrid Knol, a second-generation farmer in southern Alberta, where the coulees meet the Rockies. Gerrid knows firsthand how farming in harmony with nature strengthens both the land and the climate. As a participant in our Regenerative Agriculture Lab (RAL), he’s joining forces with others to explore how we can grow the adoption of regenerative practices across Alberta.

Curious how this approach can reshape farming and the future? Watch Gerrid’s story and see regeneration in action.
