What to Expect On Each Hike
Welcome to the Land
We begin by gathering together, sharing introductions, and setting the intention for our journey with gratitude and respect for the land we are about to enter.
Walk, Observe & Connect
Our experiences balance peaceful moments of reflection with the energy and excitement of exploring mountain trails, creating an adventure that is both meaningful and invigorating.
Stories and Songs Along the Way
Throughout the hike, we'll pause for stories, conversation, and questions inspired by the places we visit. Depending on the location, season, and interests of the group, topics may include:
Blackfeet history and the stories of this landscape
Indigenous relationships with the natural world through our language
Wildlife awareness and respectful observation
Native plants and their traditional uses
Iinnii (buffalo) as a keystone relative
Indigenous-led conservation and stewardship
Blackfeet language and connections to place
Storytelling traditions and oral history - Napi Stories (kids love)
Photography and visual storytelling (optional)
Nature journaling and creative writing (optional)
Reflections on the land, community, and our shared responsibility to care for the places we visit
Time to Reflect
There is space throughout the experience to ask questions, take photographs, enjoy quiet moments, and simply appreciate the beauty around us.
Journey Home
As we return, we reflect on the day's experiences, share final stories and observations, and leave with a deeper appreciation for the land, its living stories, and the connections we have made together.
No two hikes are ever exactly alike—and that's part of what makes each experience so memorable.
