Siksikakowan: The Blackfoot man

Trevor Solway
2025 | 1 h 17 min
Siksika filmmaker Sinakson, Trevor Solway, intimately portrays the lives of Blackfoot men as they navigate identity, kinship and the complex expectations of manhood. Through unfiltered moments and revealing conversations set against the breathtaking landscape of the Prairies, the film reimagines what it means to be a Native man. Siksikakowan: The Blackfoot Man is a profound ode to strength, vulnerability and love across generations.
