- A medicine woman holds a ceremony to thank the Sun God for the recovery of her grandson from polio. Scenes from the ritual include: tree cutting prayers and ceremony; selection and cutting of tree for center pole of medicine lodge; purification ceremony in sweat lodge; raising center pole and erection of lodge; ceremony inside lodge; dancing outside and stick games. The ritual takes place at Heart Butte, Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Montana. Produced in 1956 by the Montana Office of Public Instruction and the Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks. The Montana Historical Society digitized Knute Bergan’s 16mm print of The Piegan Medicine Lodge in 2017, in cooperation with and at the request of the Blackfoot tribe and the Siksika Board of Education.

I'm on a healing journey and appreciate the sharing of ancestral wisdom. My Great Grandmother is my ancestor descended from the Blackfoot. I have sent prayers to the sun on eagles wings and feel the need to journey further down a path with my ancestors as guides. I wish to heal myself and my family and live more harmoniously with nature.
Amazing to see the first filmed of the Piikani Okan (1956).

So powerful an true blackfeet ways 👏👣🔺💪
so sad to see what a great nation we came from, reduced to our squalor which we live in now. These terrible reserves where even water is hard to come by, when we used to have a wealth of goods provided by the earth.
I need to visit
Thanks for letting us know. We've been wondering...

I am confused by the allowance of the flag...and sickened. My ancestors have been killed by those responsible for this symbol.
The sun is not the Great Spirit. The Great Spirit is the Creator of all things
Do you have any real info or backing to what you're saying? The Blackfeet conception of power was called "natoji" (sun power).... so why couldn't the sun be equated to the creator for them?
