Traditional territories included parts of Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Montana.

In the past, they moved where there was an abundance of food that included

the harvesting of buffalo, elk, deer, fish, birds, wild herbs, vegetables, and

berries. They also became skilled horsemen when the horse became avail-

able, which aided them in various activities.

The Blackfoot Tribe enjoys a rich culture that includes showing respect for

Á’pistotooki (Creator). Culture is greatly influenced by creation. Traditionally,

clothing was crafted from what the surrounding environment offered. Social

dances are often in imitation of animals, while others tell a story. Today, danc-

ing and singing is still a big part of socializing. When attending social dances,

called pow wows, you will see strikingly beautiful handcrafted clothing made of

animal skins, beads, feathers, fine cloths and vibrant ribbons, along with ath-

letic and intricate dances, and the singing of both men and women.

Visiting and telling stories, along with the comforting taste of a hearty meat

soup, or a simple cup of mint tea is an important part of the communication

enjoyed. So pull up a seat, and click on the “Let’s Get Started!” button to begin
