BILT’s work and care for the Yellow Bird Woman Sanctuary would not be possible without the involvement of the amskapii piikani community and organizational partners. This ongoing process draws on shared values, mutual trust, and a common commitment to amskapi piikani land and people. The organizations listed here are our partners and our friends, and these relationships have been essential to our work over the years.
The Nature Conservancy was a founding organizational partner, part of BILT’s conceptualization as a private land trust on the Blackfeet Nation and then transferring ownership of the Yellow Bird Woman Sanctuary property once BILT was officially established. TNC continues to support land conservation across the Blackfeet Reservation, including continued support of BILT’s stewardship activities.
The VISIONS Montana Blackfeet program has operated at the Yellow Bird Woman Sanctuary for over two decades. In addition to providing stewardship for the Sanctuary, program participants learn about Blackfeet culture and work on service projects throughout the community.
