Darrell HallOki, My name is Darrell Hall. My Blackfoot name is Spoo-Mok-ii-Tok meaning Helping Rock. I was born and raised on the Blackfeet reservation as an outdoors man, rancher, and horseman. I grew up on a place called Badger Creek, where I learned to take cre of the land knowing that our livelihood depended on a good, clean, healthy environment for our food and livestock. At a young age I understood that if you take care of the land, the land will take care of you. I learned to survive in an outdoor environment with harsh winters and long, hot summers, knowing where to hunt, fish, and eat berries. One of the key things I had to know was where all the springs and good watering holes were. Being on horseback, water was a key thing to know about. I have been heavily involved in our Blackfoot Ceremonial ways since I was about 27 years old and I am now 48. I was the leader of the Brave Dog Society in Aamskapi Piikuni for 10 years and have helped all societies and Medicine bundles since I was a young man. My latest work was as a Chief Mountain Guardian Shield Keeper. We implemented Blackfoot culture into environmental work and brought the culture to our people to help in bringing back our identity as Niisitapii. Read More Read Less
