Siksikaitsitapi: Stories of the Blackfoot People

Siksikaitsitapi is a collection of seven stories from Blackfoot Elders, authors, and artists, which showcases the strong historical roots of Blackfoot culture and language while celebrating the contemporary nation members and teachings. With brightly coloured illustrations and simple phrases integrating the Blackfoot language, Siksikaitsitapi can be used as a bilingual storytime book for early readers, while also supporting older developing readers. The seven short pieces cover topics such as family, belonging, and identity, and even include tales of interactions between animals and their environments that can dovetail nicely with the early science curriculum.
