Blackfoot

The Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksikaitsitapi) is made up of the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani nations in Alberta and the Blackfeet Nation in Montana, on the plains beneath the Rocky Mountains. Many of their stories tell of Old Man, a powerful and often foolish figure who shaped the land and its creatures.

Today more than forty-two thousand Blackfoot people belong to four nations in Montana and Alberta (Blackfeet Nation; Indigenous Services Canada First Nation profiles for Kainai, Siksika and Piikani).
