TESSA WOLFLEG from Siksika Nation, taught us about how 'science is LIFE and Math RUNS THE WORLD,' how Ancestral scientific knowledge is on "another level of thinking," her deep love for the crocus, getting punched in the face by humility, the connection between non-Native plants and trees and railroads, how "Alberta is POKEY," and the harms of over-harvesting and Pan-Indigenizing.   Remember, any support from the "Ancestral Podcast MERCH" www.relationalsciencecircle.com/shop helps pay Knowledge Keepers & editors, to follow protocols and keep this podcast going.   -Tessa, newly appointed “The Plant Guy” -Sharing knowledge with her people has become a priority because the community the knowledge is connected with should be taught it first. “We are still here!!” -be careful of Pan-Indigenization- there are commonalities between Nations, but each community has a unique connection with the Land, Plants, Animals, and other Ancestors that have shaped their stories, knowledge, and science. Pan-Indigenizing can be harmful because it removes the knowledge from the community and Knowledge Keepers. -Youth are our Leaders and the Elders connect us to the past. -University of Calgary- Indigenous Viewbook How a University degree can get your brain thinking differently! -“Science is LIFE. Energy is all around us” We are all connected! Listen to Rob Cardinal's 2-part episode - Growing up with her Indigenous & Beliefs allowed Tessa to question everything and see the science that is everywhere. Indigenous Science needs to be widely accepted, respected, validated, and understood. -Biogeoscience Institute: This is where Tessa realized “wow, Indigenous knowledge is Science” -Majorville Medicine Wheel: showing, with incredibly accuracy, significant star locations, as well as solstice and equinox cycles. Iniskim article Medicine Wheel (take these articles with a grain of salt, they are NOT written by local Indigenous people).

Treaty 7 is an agreement between the Canadian government and several, mainly Blackfoot, First Nation band governments in what is today Southern Alberta. The idea of developing treaties for Blackfoot lands was suggested to Blackfoot Chief Crowfoot in 1875. Negotiations were concluded two years later and on September 22, 1877, the agreement was signed at the present-day Siksika Nation reserve, east of Calgary. Chief Crowfoot was one of the signatories to Treaty 7. Another signing of this treaty occurred December 4, 1877 to accommodate other Blackfoot leaders who were not present at the primary September 1877 signing. The Canadian government wanted the treaty to allow them to build the railroad across Canada, but the implications for the Indigenous people after the signing of Treaty 7 were mainly suffering and hardship. The buffalo disappeared rapidly and the promised support from Canada's government to help transition the First Nations bands into an agricultural lifestyle did largely not happen. The speaker will argue that overall, the treaty did not have the positive impact for Indigenous Peoples that they initially believed it would. When comparing the difference in cultures during the treaty negotiations, it is likely the Indigenous population was misinformed/misguided by the settlers at the time, who strongly insisted that the treaty be a written document, not an oral agreement that Indigenous Peoples better understand. Speaker: Dr. Mike Bruised Head (or in the Blackfoot language, Ninna Piksii) Mike Bruised Head graduated from St Mary's High school on the Blood Reserve in 1976. Received Bachelors of Arts Degree (BA) from University of Lethbridge in 1980. Served on Blood Tribe Chief and Council 1981 to 1983.

Obtained a Master's Degree (MA) from Gonzaga University, Spokane, Washington (2003) in Administration and Supervision. Elected to Blood Tribe Chief and Council from 2011 to 2016. Formally created Kainai Ecosystems Protection Agency (KEPA) and served as chair for KEPA from 2012 to 2016. Serves on the Oldman Watershed Council and participates on the Crown of the Continent Roundtable Leadership Committee and Crown Partners. Involved in Kainai ceremonies and cultural events.

Indigenous worldviews or “ways of knowing” that date back thousands of years, are learned through storytelling, and are inherently practiced. A core worldview is the concept of “interconnectedness”. It is the belief of indigenous people that everything in the universe is connected. Every creature, plant and even object has a purpose and is respected and cared for. This embraces the notion that people are tightly connected to their communities, ancestors, and future generations. So when immunization access was a problem for rural communities, it was innate for the Siksika Nation to step up and launch a Rural COVID Vaccination Clinic in the spirit of protecting indigenous and non-indigenous brothers and sisters. The clinic was extended to Siksika Nation's neighbouring municipalities of Strathmore, Gleichen, Wheatland County, Vulcan County and Newell County. And, when Calgary's most vulnerable needed help. Siksika Nation, once again, stepped up to help its neighbors by providing a mobile immunization clinic to the homeless.

In all of the time that we've been doing ROCK IS RED we have feature a punk band here and a punk band there but we've never had anything as hard, heavy and fast as the band NO MORE MOMENTS. Hailing from the Siksika Nation in Alberta, Canada, NO MORE MOMENTS epitomize the D.I.Y. philosophy of punk. Formed in 2009, the band have shown what they are made of on the Calgary music scene and throughout the provinces. Their hardcore punk sound has proven to be a relentless as the band who have given their public something to bang their heads to in the form of two EPs MOMENTS REBORN and MOMENTS NEVER SAY DIE and now the band is riding the wave of their new release STILL GOING. After eight years of being together, the title of their latest EP sums up the band's solidarity and we've gotta give a shout out to the STAR WARS-themed CD cover. Short, blistering sets rules the day on this recording with the stand outs being CALLIN' IN, RETIREMENT PARTY and HANGOVER BLUES. In a time where what's left of rock n roll has become slick and refined, it's nice to hear a band like this keeping it raw. CHECK OUT THE PODCAST AT:http://www.rockwired.com/rockisred/rockisred29.mp3

Back in the early part of the Nineteenth Century, Crowfoot, the chief of the Siksika Nation, gave the railroad an easement through Indian land in southern Alberta, Canada. The railroad in turn gave Crowfoot a lifetime pass to travel anywhere the Canadian Pacific Railroad went. But Crowfoot never once used the pass.

(Special Session in partnership with the Lethbridge Public Library) Wednesday, March 26, 2014 Time: 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. Venue: Lethbridge Public Library Theatre Gallery, Main Branch, 810 – 5th Ave. South Free admission, everyone welcome Many First Nations people are reacting with disappointment to the Federal Government's proposed education legislation for First Nations that was released recently. Under the draft legislation, band councils would be allowed to operate schools directly, as some already do, but also to purchase services from provincial or regional school boards or from the private sector. First Nations could also form education authorities that would oversee one or more schools in a region, but the Federal Government would set and enforce standards for schools on reserves. As well, the minister would retain power to take over schools or school authorities if issues arise. The panel will discuss the timeline of implementation and why it is being proposed. What is the history of Federal legislation for First Nations education in Canada? What were the problems and focus of Residential Schools? How are Industrial Schools working? Are First Nations in control of education on reserves now? What is the real reason for the proposed changes? Is it all about economics? Is the notion of a balanced education that is grounded in traditional knowledge and culture getting lost in the proposed legislation? What are some key principles of traditional knowledge and culture? What is Blackfoot pedagogy and who needs to be involved while creating a blueprint for First Nations education? Where does Elders fit in? Brenda Gail Fox: Niisto niitaanikko Ma'taaki. Is currently teaching Grade One at Aahsaopi Elementary School.
