The life our ancestors intended for us is getting harder for all of us to attain. Leaders across the world feel the immense pressure that their constituents survive, and only the true leaders continue to navigate insurmountable adversity in pursuit of equal prosperity for their people.
The true leadership Chief Knowton has shown in the face of rising separatism and emboldened racism has been commended on the national stage. We invite you, the membership and appreciated allies, to join us in acknowledging his work meriting the King Charles III Coronation Medal.
In the name of our youth, unity, and future generations, we have all been compelled into action, ensuring that none of us have to live in fear of separation and racism. We thank you, Chief Troy, for confidently leading us through this challenging era of endless news cycles and real threats to democracy.
We must remember our humanity has always been our strength, the protocols of Piikanissini our means of prosperity, and our Blackfoot ways of knowing our path to success. Piikani Nation and Council thanks you, Troy, for embodying this in your leadership, and we look forward to walking the path ahead with you.
Again, our appreciation, and congratulations on the well-deserved award.
Piikani Nation Administration & Council
