	Peigan (Pikuni)
		Peigan or Pikuni form the largest of the 3 tribes of the BLACKFOOT NATION.
		The Peigan, or Pikuni, once occupied a vast hunting ground which ranged along the foothills from Rocky Mountain House to Heart Butte, Montana, and extended eastward onto the plains.
		In 1855 the Peigan were prominent signers of a treaty with the Americans, but by 1877 the southern group had already settled on a reservation in Montana, so only the northern tribe signed Treaty No 7 with the Canadian government.

	Journal of Child and Youth Care
		Through the publication of this document the Peigan Nation desired to give support and encouragement to other Bands desiring to assume child welfare responsibilities and to impart to non-Native people an understanding of the reason and manner in which such steps are undertaken.
		The approach to all facets of human services, from community development, to child care practices, to mental health that are implemented on the Peigan Reserve and across Canada, may afford the opportunity for all professionals to redefine the manner in which care is given to children and families.
		While the primary intent of this report is to document the development of child welfare services for the Peigan nation, it may also serve as a guide for involving communities, Native and non-Native in undertaking such planning.
