Description
Sokapsksino, means to know something completely, it is perhaps the best word to describe literacy. Our project "Sakopsksino" seeks to increase the literacy of the Blackfeet community, both on and off reservation, of 1) traditional food use, 2) Blackfeet language related to traditional food use and 3) public policy issues related to traditional foods. We will use as the our foundation the "Ahwahsin/The Land Where We Get Our Food" report, pamphlet, partners and the new relationships created. We were fortunate to have received national recognition for the "Ahwahsin" project, which has led to significant community support and engagement.
