Blackfoot Nation

The Blackfoot Nation is a group of Indigenous peoples primarily consisting of the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai tribes, traditionally inhabiting regions of Montana, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. They have a shared cultural heritage, language, and history, centered around the Blackfoot Confederacy. Historically, they were nomadic hunters and gatherers, especially known for buffalo hunting. Today, they maintain their cultural practices, language, and sovereignty through reservations and treaties, playing an important role in the history and identity of the Indigenous peoples of the northern Great Plains.
