Speak Blackfoot Language App

The Siksika (Blackfoot) Nation, located in Southern Alberta, Canada, is elated to announce a “Blackfoot App” to facilitate the learning of Siksika (Blackfoot) phrases organized under 29 theme categories, complete with audio, images, quizzes, and games. Also included in the app is a cultural section of historical images; a short sign language video; and a variety of songs including owl dance songs, hand games songs, and word songs to supplement the phrase categories. This work is a collaboration between the local tribal college, Old Sun Community College, and the Siksika Board of Education.
