has resulted in the
accumulation of a collection
that does not subscribe to
standard museum policy and is
primarily subject to
Blackfoot protocols of
transferred rights and
custody of certain objects
within the collection that
are considered

"siksikaitsitapi."
Particularly items within the
collection attributed to the
Thunder Chief and Williams
family are considered
transfers, while additional
accretions from the Glenbow
Museum and other sources are
treated with the respect and
protocols as transfers. The

desire of Leo was for all to
experience just enough of
First Nations life by
interacting with the exhibits
and Blackfoot community
members who are often
available to interpret, and
to further discussion and
learning with relationship on
other items in the collection

with those that have the
knowledge and status to do
so.
