PLHI programming is designed to restore distressed Native lands and communities through regenerative practices and principles. Piikani Lodge’s goals for the community consider cohabitation for multiple species and ‘ini-yimm’ (respect for the natural world). Our team relies upon the process of engagement through ‘li-ta-mii-pa-ta-pi-yoip’ (positive interaction with a foci of wellbeing within an intentional diversity of community members). Our work supports landscapes for ‘tsi-ksi-ka-ta-pi-wa-tsin,’ Blackfeet ways of ‘place knowing’. Our work never fails to consider ‘a’si-ta-pi,’ embedded youth mentorship and community capacity building thereby passing Piikani “ways of being” and stewardship of land and biosystems down to our next generations.


Piikani Lodge Health Institute (PLHI) is an Indigenous founded and led 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on promoting the health and well-being of Blackfeet (properly known as ‘Amskapi Piikani’) people and land.
