Iniskim, or "Buffalo Stone," refers to ammonite fossils found in Alberta. Iniskim are deeply significant for many Indigenous Peoples of the Plains as they represent a sacred bond between people and bison.
In the film, it's said that Iniskim is a reminder - a symbol of protection, community, and healing.
In what ways does Iniskim help remind us of the importance of reconnecting with the Land as part of the reconciliation process?
