Welcome to the Natives4justice website

As a member of the Blackfeet Tribe located in Central Montana my Native Blackfeet name is Na To Ah Wa Pii which in the Blackfeet language in accordance to Blackfeet Elder and former respected Tribal Councilman George Kicking Woman, means “Holy Speaker" or "Powerful Words"

My name Na To Ah Wa Pii "Holy Speaker/"Powerful Words" was given to me by my late father Earl Vielle. Who gave me the name Na To Ah Wa Pii as he told me the story of how he received my Blackfeet name through a dream he had concerning me. In my father’s dream he said he was riding south on horseback from his cabin located three to four miles east of Divide mountain in what is known as the Fox Creek area on the Blackfeet Nation.

My father Earl further told me  as he was riding south from his cabin two Blackfeet men dressed in the traditional Blackfeet regalia on horseback road up to him coming from the west in the direction of Divide mountain. As the two Blackfeet men approached my Dad came within shouting distance toward my Dad, they called out to my Dad and said in the traditional Blackfeet language "Have you seen Na To Ah WA Pii?”, referring to me Leon Vielle.

The morning after my Dad had the dream concerning my Blackfeet name Na To Ah Wa Pii he told me that would be my Blackfeet name. That I am honored to have and always make every attempt to live up to my Blackfeet name Na To Ah Wa Pii.
