Guardians and Stewards

Piikani Territory

The Piikani Nation are stewards, guardians and keepers of the land presently known as North America and have been since time immemorial. We refer to this today as our Ancestral Territory, or simply our Territory. We do not refer to this area as “traditional territory”. According to our stories, ceremonies and songs, the Piikani’s territory stretched as far north as the North Saskatchewan River, extending south to the Yellow Stone area; our presence was known far west into the Rocky Mountains and as far east as the Great Lakes

DISCLAIMER
It should be noted that the map depicting the boundaries of Piikani Nation's territory should be interpreted as a snapshot in time of what is an evolving understanding of the lands our ancestors occupied and is currently being explored and affirmed of occupation, spiritual and cultural significance and use, at the present time. Maps are inherently colonial constructs that seek to delineate and separate areas that are arbitrarily assigned to one group or another, on lands inherent to the Piikani people. This map does not abrogate or relinquish Piikani's Rights to their existing lands past, present or future.
