Current research

Currently part of the Concepts Have Teeth and Mootookakio’ssin [Distant Awareness] projects which aim to connect Blackfoot people living in North America with their cultural heritage held by museums in the UK. Directed by knowledge holders from Kainai, Piikani, Siksika, and Amskapipiikani nations, the project is a collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers, artists, archaeologists, museum professionals and students. The project uses digital imaging techniques, art-based public engagement and spatial web technologies. These tools will improve the ability of Blackfoot people to interact with their historical belongings and recover and shape their own narratives surrounding them.
