POSTS ABOUT BLACKFEET ON THIS BLOG

When I say “Blackfeet,” I mean people on the Blackfeet Reservation -- not “enrolled” Blackfeet.  I’m going to list people in red and books in blue.  I’ll mark posts about artifacts in brown and posts about violence in purple.

Feel free to download, reprint, forward, quote, print out, bind into books or use in classes.  It would be nice (and save you from being accused of being the author) if you identified this blog as the source.
