Blair Many Fingers, whose Blackfoot name is Sisi鈥檏si, is a graduate student in the MA (Cultural, Social, and Political Thought) program and a Researcher-in-Residence with the Niitsitapii Pod. His thesis research examines how Heritage Resource Management operates at 脕铆s铆nai鈥檖i/Writing-On-Stone Provincial Park, which sacred landscape which holds the highest concentration of sin谩谩kssiistsi (petroglyphs and pictographs) depicted in the North American plains. His work with the pod unsettles dominant N谩谩pia鈥檖ii iit谩铆ssksinima鈥檛stohkio鈥檖/鈥橶hite-People鈥檚 academic cultural paradigms鈥� with a Blackfoot-centric research paradigm, which is metaphorically represented in the framework of the niit贸yis/tipi lodge. This non-A.I. visual offers understandings of Blackfoot ontology, epistemology, axiology, niitsipowahsin/language, and methodology. The niit贸yis framework is intended to aesthetically represent Blackfoot research sovereignty by asserting a right on how Blackfoot data/knowledge is generated, represented, and shared. Many Fingers is a firm believer in bringing 鈥榬ebellious-harmony鈥� into research by adhering to research principles grounded in relevance, reciprocity, respect, and reverence with methods that centre community, protocols, values, and prayer. Blair鈥檚 research interests include storytelling, place-based knowledge, Real People literature, Blackfoot research methodology, and 鈥極ur Way of Life鈥� 鈥� K铆pait谩piiyssinnooni. Sisiksi is known to unsettle the settled with a fearless spirit/iiyikitapiiyi and connect with a kind heart 鈥� Kimmapiipittssinni.
