	Blackfeet Indian Reservation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Blackfeet Indian Reservation or Blackfeet Nation is an Indian reservation of the Blackfeet tribe in Montana in the United States.
		The eastern part of the reservation is mostly open hills of grassland while a narrow strip along the western edge is covered by forests of fir and spruce.
		The major income source of the reservation is oil and natural gas leases on the oil fields on tribal lands.

	Blackfeet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Piegan Blackfeet (Pikuni in Blackfoot) are a tribe of Blackfoot Native Americans based in Montana.
		The population was at times dramatically lower when the Blackfeet people suffered instances of disease, starvation, and war, such as the starvation year of 1882 when the last buffalo hunt failed or the smallpox epidemic of 1837 which killed 6,000.
		They had held large portions of Alberta and Montana, though today the Blackfeet Reservation is the size of Delaware, and the three Blackfoot reserves in Alberta have a much smaller area.

		Several Indian reservations are located in Montana: Fort Peck Indian Reservation, Fort Belknap Indian Reservation, Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, Crow Indian Reservation, Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation, Blackfeet Indian Reservation, and the Flathead Indian Reservation.

		Blackfeet Indian Reservation resident Martin Marceau, lead plaintiff in a federal lawsuit over substandard government housing, inspects the wooden foundation and decaying siding of his home in March 2002.

		She described how the Blackfeet progressed from an aggressive tribe that controlled trade over a large area of the American West to a demoralized yet fiercely independent group who had to depend on the U.S. government, as the Government's ill-conceived policies tried unsuccessfully to force the nomadic Blackfeet to become farmers.
		She illustrated her talk with slides of Charles Stephens' exquisite drawings of Blackfeet artifacts and ceremonies and of his photographs that show the deplorable conditions of the Blackfeet reservation in 1891.
		When he arrived at the Reservation in 1891, Stephens encountered a totally demoralized people who had remained fiercely independent and isolated until the great bison herds were depleted in the early 1880s.

		The plaintiffs argue that HUD and Blackfeet Housing officials built and arranged the mortgaging of the homes under HUD's Mutual Help Homeownership Opportunity Program while knowing that the foundations were inferior and potentially harmful.
		A recent independent study of some of the homes found that "mold colonization of reservation housing poses an immediate and serious health threat to affected occupants" and that "additional health issues exist with septic/sewage flooding," as well as with the treated wood.
		According to court documents, the plaintiffs have "sought assistance through administrative remedies over 15 years by complaining to Blackfeet Housing and the agents and employees of HUD about the housing conditions." But, they add, the efforts were to no avail.
