FCCEJ is thrilled to have an intergenerational team traveling to Montana in June 2024 to participate in a service project on the Blackfeet Reservation.

The Blackfeet Reservation is in northwestern Montana along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains and is bordered by Canada on the north and by Glacier National Park on the west. The Blackfeet peoples call themselves “Niitsitapi” (nee-itsee-TAH-peh) meaning “the real people.” It is believed that the Blackfeet people got their name from the color of their moccasins that were either painted black or darkened with ashes.
