Dear Minister Savage.
RE: Coal Policy Reinstatement
I draw to your attention that the Piikani First Nation is a member of the Blackfoot Confederacy in Treaty 7. Our community is in the South West corner of Alberta and our territory is inclusive of the Crowsnest Pass where exploration is moving forward with the Grassy Mountain Coal Mining and Tent Mountain Projects.
Those areas are our traditional hunting, gathering and ceremonial grounds that defined the Niit Sti Ta Pi (Blackfoot People). The Piikani are a proud Nation that prides in our rich culture and traditions.
