About Us

The Blackfeet Nation has entered the 21st century with the same fierce fighting spirit that helped define one of the greatest warrior nations to have ever traversed this continent. The Blackfeet people are still here, still proud, still strong in their convictions and spirit. We dedicate this web-site to the fighting spirit of the Amskapi Pikuni and to all children of the sun. To truly see were we are going, we must understand where it is that we have been.

Who Is Blackfeet TV?

Blackfeet TV currently is a collaboration between Akihksa'sit Productions and echo; independant freelance media specialists. Our combined experience, knowledge, skills, and talents allow us to create things and make stuff happen.

The Technology Behind Blackfeet TV

Lamp Stack Blackfeet TV was built from scratch leveraging and embracing "open source" technologies from the ground up. Our hosting environment is based on the LAMP stack. Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP, all of which are open source, ultimately translating into lower hosting fees for the services provided by Blackfeet TV. The web site and pages themselves are built using a combination of technologies including HTML5 (the next big stepping stone in the evolution of markup languages), CSS, Javascript, PHP and MySQL.

HTML5 As early adopters of HTML5 technology as the primary method of content delivery, your mileage may vary when using our site. There are many factors involved that may affect user experience. The browsing client and/or hardware device consuming the media, and its ability to digest HTML5 based content; the bandwidth alloted through your internet service provider, just to name a few. In any case, we have attempted to gracefully "fall-back" to more tried and tested means of video content delivery for any browsing client that cannot properly manage HTML5 playback.

Where Are We Headed?

HTML5 Code As it stands, Blackfeet TV is steadily making site improvements, adding new features and content. There is no shortage of things on the todo list for Blackfeet TV. We look forward to working with our community in 2011 to make Blackfeet TV the finest online resource it can possibly be. We feel honored to be in this unique position, to have the opportunity to create a lasting resource the Blackfeet people, and the opportunity to share our culture, and tradition.
