 Blackfoot Nation
Throughout most of the 18th and 19th centuries, the equestrian Blackfoot dominated their hunting area and were constantly at war with the Cree, ASSINIBOINE, Crow, DAKOTA, Nez Percé, Shoshoni and other enemy tribes.
Most of the Peigan (Pikuni) settled on a reservation in Montana, and the Blackfoot (Siksika), Blood (Kainai) and North Peigan (Pikuni) tribes each took a reserve in southern Alberta.
Because of the size of their reserves, the Blackfoot tribes were able to retain much of their culture and language, although both have rapidly diminished in the post-WWII era.
