Blackfoot Ways of Knowing is a journey into the heart and soul of
Blackfoot culture. As a scholar and researcher, Betty Bastien
places Blackfoot tradition within a historical context of
precarious survival amid colonial displacement and cultural
genocide. In sharing her personal story of reclaimed identity,
Bastien offers a gateway into traditional Blackfoot ways of
understanding and experiencing the world.For the Siksikaitsitapi,
knowledge is experiential, participatory, and ultimately sacred.
Bastien maps her own process of coming to know, stressing the
recovery of the Blackfoot language and Blackfoot notions of
reciprocal responsibilities and interdependence. Rekindling
traditional ways of knowing is essential for Indigenous peoples in
Canada to heal and rebuild their communities and cultures. By
sharing what she has learned, Betty Bastien hopes to ensure that
the next generation of Indigenous people will enjoy a future of
hope and peace.
Blackfoot Ways of Knowing is a journey into the heart and soul of
Blackfoot culture. In sharing her personal story of "coming home"
to reclaim her identity within that culture, Betty Bastien offers
us a gateway into traditional Blackfoot ways of understanding and
experiencing the world. As a scholar and researcher, Bastien is
also able to place Blackfoot tradition within the context of
knowledge building among indigenous peoples generally, and within a
historical context of precarious survival amid colonial
displacement and cultural genocide. In mapping her own process of
coming to know, Bastien stresses the recovery of the Blackfoot
language and of the Blackfoot notions of reciprocal
responsibilities and interdependence. For the Siksikaitsitapi,
knowledge is experiential, participatory, and ultimately sacred,
rather than objective and inert. Rekindling traditional ways of
knowing is essential if First Nations people in Canada are to heal
and rebuild their communities and cultures. By sharing what she has
learned, Betty Bastien hopes to ensure that the next generation of
First Nations people will enjoy a future of hope and peace.
