The Blackfoot Indians of the United
States and Canada were divided
into three main groups: the Northern Blackfoot or Siksika, the Kainah
or Blood, and the
Piegan. The three as a whole are also referred to
as the Siksika (translated Blackfoot), a term which probably derived
from
the discoloration of moccasins with ashes
The Blackfoot were typical of the Plains Indians in many aspects of
their
culture. They were nomadic hunter-gatherers, who lived in tipis.
They subsisted mainly on buffalo and large mammals and,
in addition,
gathered a lot of vegetable foods. Traditions indicate that the buffalo
were hunted in drives, although
hunting patterns changed when horses
and guns were introduced. Deer and smaller game were caught with snares.
Fish,
although abundant, were eaten only in times of dire necessity
and after the disappearance of the buffalo.
