We were grateful to speak with  Brendon Many Bears , from Siksika Nation, who, alongside Blackfoot Elders and Knowledge Keepers have been working alongside Lindsay Amundsen-Meyer of the University of Calgary Archaeology Field School & Public Archaeology Program to learn more about Ancestral Blackfoot knowledges within the stones and earth of Nosehill. We learned about the cultural importance of look out points and \"tipi\" rings, vision quests and balance, reconciliation archaeology, the importance of ceremony within science, and experiencing the Blackfoot scientific stories of these Lands.  University of Calgary Archaeological Field School and Public Archaeology Program : Dig site: EgPm-143 CTV Article: U of C students, staff partner with city to unearth ancient Indigenous belongings at Nose Hill Park CBC Article: What was life like for pre-contact Blackfoot people?
