		Society-BLACKFOOT The Blackfoot Indians of the United States and Canada were divided into three main groups: the Northern Blackfoot or Siksika, the Kainah or Blood, and the Piegan.
		The three as a whole are also referred to as the Siksika (translated Blackfoot), a term which probably derived from the discoloration of moccasins with ashes (Mooney 1910: 570).
		Before the Blackfoot were placed on reservations in the latter half of the nineteenth century, they occupied a large territory which stretched from the North Saskatchewan River in Canada to the Missouri River in Montana, and from long.

	Blackfoot
		Smallpox epidemics devastated the Blackfoot population in 1781, 1837, and 1869.
		This concern is reflected today in the Blackfoot claim for priority rights over the water resources on the reservation, rights to certain natural resources within the boundaries of Glacier National Park as specified in the 1896 agreement, and the appropriate use of reservation lands by both members and non-members.
		The pervasive use of the buffalo in Blackfoot culture provides the basis for Alfred Vaughan's claim, recorded by John C. Ewers, that the buffalo was the Blackfoot's "Staff of Life." Until the buffalo's near extermination in the early 1880s, they roamed the plains in extraordinarily large herds.
