Recognition of the Fire Keepers Alliance
On behalf of Browning Public Schools, we proudly recognize the Fire Keepers Alliance, whose members include Charlie Speicher, Colin Sibbernsen, Robert Hall, Sienna Speicher, Dr. Cinnamon Salway, Andrew HeavyRunner, and Steve Von Till, for their unwavering dedication, leadership, and compassion in advancing the mission of suicide prevention and promoting hope throughout the Blackfeet Nation.
The Fire Keepers Alliance has become a beacon of strength by creating safe spaces, encouraging open conversations, restoring cultural connections, and reminding our people that every life is sacred. Through education, advocacy, community outreach, cultural teachings, and acts of kindness, the Alliance continues to inspire healing, resilience, and unity across our community.
Suicide prevention is more than responding to a crisis—it is about building relationships, strengthening families, reconnecting with our traditions, and ensuring that every individual knows they are valued, supported, and never alone. The Fire Keepers Alliance exemplifies these principles through its unwavering commitment to protecting life, promoting mental wellness, and uplifting the well-being of our youth, adults, Elders, and future generations.
As employees and community leaders, these individuals have gone beyond their professional responsibilities to serve as advocates for hope, healing, and resilience. Their dedication has strengthened partnerships between Browning Public Schools, families, and the Blackfeet Nation while fostering a culture where compassion, belonging, and support are at the heart of everything we do.
Browning Public Schools is honored to stand alongside the Fire Keepers Alliance in promoting mental wellness, encouraging help-seeking, reducing stigma, and inspiring positive change throughout our schools and community. Together, we continue to build a future where every person feels seen, valued, supported, and empowered to seek hope.
In recognition of your outstanding service, unwavering commitment, and steadfast dedication to the mission of suicide prevention, Browning Public Schools extends its deepest gratitude and appreciation to the Fire Keepers Alliance. Your leadership, selfless service, and commitment to protecting life have made a lasting and meaningful impact on the students, families, and communities of the Blackfeet Nation.
May your light continue to guide those in darkness, your courage inspire others to serve, and your commitment strengthen the hearts of our people for generations to come.
For the right people, in the right place, for the right reason.
With sincere appreciation and gratitude,
Browning Public Schools
