2003 - 2004 Kaini Swift Fox Reintroduction Program Blood Reserve , Alberta, Canada
The swift fox is not only a key species in the prairie/foothills ecosystem, but is also an integral part of the Blackfoot Confederacy's spiritual and cultural heritage. Thus, its return to the Blood Tribal Lands, its historical homeland, has strengthend the spiritual aspects of the Blood culture. This effort was a Canadian first and was a cross-border endeavor because the successful re-establishment of swift fox on Blood Tribal Lands supported the newly reintroduced swift fox population on Blackfeet Tribal Lands in Montana, thus providing mutual benefit to both projects, both Tribes and both countries.
