Impact

More than a physical space, the memorial garden is a living act of truth-telling and cultural continuity — honouring survivors, remembering those who were lost, and supporting healing across generations.

The Blood Tribe Memorial Garden is envisioned as a sacred place of reflection, remembrance, and healing for Blackfoot residential school survivors, families, and future generations. Located between Mi’kai’sto Red Crow Community College and the Peacemaking Centre in Stand Off, the garden is being shaped through direct guidance from Elders, whose stories, teachings, and cultural knowledge form the foundation of its design. The conceptual landscape plan reflects Blackfoot ways of knowing — honouring the four cardinal directions, the life journey, and the deep connection to land, spirit, and community.

Suite 310, 999 8 Street S.W.

Calgary, AB, T2R 1J5

Larkspur Projects is located in Calgary, on the ancestral and traditional territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy — the Niitsitapi peoples, including the Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, and Amskapi Piikani. We also acknowledge the shared lands of the Tsuut’ina (Dene) and the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney) Nations — Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Goodstoney. This is also the homeland of the Otipemisiwak Métis Government, including Métis Nation Battle River Territory, Districts 5 and 6.
 

The place we now call Calgary has long been known as Moh’kins’tsis by the Blackfoot, Guts’ists’i by the Tsuut’ina, and Wîchîspa by the Îyârhe Nakoda. We recognize, honour, and give thanks to the original caretakers of this land, and commit ourselves to building respectful relationships with the peoples whose histories, languages, and cultures continue to shape this place.
