We can’t have an Earth Day theme of “living with the land” without acknowledging the Native land on which we all live. The Gallatin Valley was known as the Valley of the Flowers by the Niitsitapi (Real Original People) who shared this land as a common hunting ground. Join Steven Davis, KiiNock”KooMii (First Thunder), an enrolled member of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe and descendant of the Blackfeet nation, as he shares his perspective of the Great Plains tribes living in balanced relationships with the peoples, places and processes that have shaped this continent since time immemorial.
