Piegan Institute is cultivating new speakers and teachers of the Blackfoot language through its K-8 language immersion school, adult language revitalization program and alumni engagement projects. Whereas twenty-five years ago not a single child on the Blackfeet Reservation in northwestern Montana could speak the Blackfoot language, today Piegan Institute’s efforts are reviving the Blackfoot language, as well as its history, spiritual traditions, and Tribal protocols. Piegan Institute is also sharing lessons learned and best practices from their language school with Tribes throughout the US and Canada.
