Why this petition matters

Started by Kendall Edmo

The Blackfeet people have utilized the Badger-Two Medicine region for more than 10,000 years— this sacred area provides strength, subsistence, and cultural identity to more than 17,000 tribal members. 

Now, the region has been compromised due to illegally granted oil and gas leases that threaten the Blackfeet peoples’ history and their sacred and cultural values.

The cancellation of these leases is essential to conserve the natural, recreational, cultural, and spiritual resources of the Badger-Two Medicine. We must act now.
