About this listen
In this episode, we ask Megan Jerry, a member of the Siksika (or Blackfoot) Nation in Alberta, Canada if there were museums before settlement in her area of Alberta.. She works at the Blackfoot Crossing Historic Park. We asked this same question of Coralee Miller, a member of the Syilx Nation in British Columbia, Canada in episode 1. But because First Nations across Canada and United States have their own cultural practises, we thought it would be a great idea to hear some different voices answering the same question. Megan talks about how belongings, but also designs and symbols used in painting teepees and beadwork were passed down through the generations. She also explains how many articles of clothing and weapons belonging to Chief Crowfoot ended up in a museum in England and how the Historic Park got them back.
