Piyiitahtai

Poyiitahtai, the Milk River, winds through the prairie east of the Rocky Mountains. Its Blackfoot name refers to the opaque water that also gave rise to its English name. Along the river, sandstone cliffs and curious rock formations overlook a valley important in the sacred geography of the Niitsitapi. At Aisinai’pi, generations of people carved and painted images on the sandstone, recording visions and significant events.
