The word "nîkihk" comes from the Plains Cree language. It translates to the meaning "My Home".
"We need to keep our families safe during this time. Sanitize your household, your hands, and remember to pray every day to the Creator.” - BATC Elders
In March of 2020, nîkihk was created to help distribute household cleaning kits to combat the national shortage of sanitizing solutions on First Nations.
Since then, we have sold over 75,000 cleaning kits, made headlines, and begun our retail journey.
BATC is a tribal council that was formed in the spring of 2007 with the original first nations of Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation, Moosomin First Nation, Red Pheasant Cree Nation, Sweetgrass First Nation, and Stoney Knoll First Nation signing the Convention Act. Saulteaux First Nation joined in 2009 and Mosquito / Grizzly Bear's Head / Lean Man First Nation in 2014.
We are proudly 100% owned by several Saskatchewan First Nations (Battleford Agency Tribal Chiefs).
We respect the earth and all its animals. We make naturally derived, biodegradable, cruelty-free products.
Our locally manufactured products help protect and clean our communities as well as create local jobs.
