An extraordinary exploration, where the past and present intertwine, revealing the timeless bond between the Blackfoot and the sacred lands they hold dear.
Embark on a profound journey to discover more than forty effigy mounds and stone medicine wheels, scattered across the lands from Calgary to the Saskatchewan border and into Montana in the US, created and revered by the Blackfoot people. These mesmerising stone monuments encapsulate the sacred stories, teachings, and ancient connection of the Blackfoot to both the earth and the sky. Joined by Canadian geologist Suzan Moore and esteemed Blackfoot Elders, John Paul and Serena delve into the wisdom acquired and cherished at these hallowed sites.
