Naming and Introductions

Naming and Introductions

Our Blackfoot names are an important part of our identities. It is important for us to learn and know each other's Blackfoot names. We want our students to be proud to call each other by their Blackfoot names, and we can help instill this pride by calling our students by their Blackfoot names.

Listen to recordings of Elder Ihkitsikamma Tony Fox pronouncing some of the Blackfoot names found in Volumes 1-3 of Kitomahkitapiiminnoniksi - Stories from Our Elders


Ohkotokiooyis - the Stone House Game is one way for students to learn about the importance of naming and introductions
