Oki — Welcome to Iniskim Sacred Buffalo Stone
The Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge pays respect to the Blackfoot people — past, present and future — while recognizing and honouring their rich cultural heritage, beliefs and relationship to the land. Our Blackfoot name is Iniskim, meaning Sacred Buffalo Stone, and was gifted to the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ by Elder Bruce Wolf Child in 2002.
Since we opened our doors in 1967, Indigenous culture has been woven into the fabric of the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬, enriching programming, teaching and research, and creating a university where students find community, support and success.
Iniskim acknowledges that we are gathered on the lands of the Blackfoot people — Siksikaitsitapii, of the Canadian Plains, compromised of the Kainai, Apaatohsipiikani, Siksika and Amsskapiipiikani Nations. The City of Lethbridge is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III.
