Identity informs every aspect of Termaine’s work. By celebrating her Amskapi Piikani (Blackfeet) identity and helping others to connect with theirs in her role as a Cultural Youth Mentor, Termaine embodies the legacy and resilience of Indigenous communities. The Ksik Stakii (Beaver) Project was a two-year collaborative effort between the Center, Blackfeet Environmental, and Blackfeet Community College. This project utilized a beaver mimicry restoration technique that involved building beaver dam analogs to “create floodplains that improve water quality, enhance habitat for birds, and reduce the risk of flood damage to man-made structures”
