Blackfeet Indians,
A confederacy of North American Indians, also called the Siksika.
It is one of the most important tribes in the Northwest, and is composed of three divisions: the Blackfeet proper; the Kino.
or Blood: and the Piegan.
They occupy northern Montana and the adjacent part of Canada, a region extending from the Rocky Mountains to the Milk River at its junction with the Missouri, and from the Belly and Saskatchewan rivers in Canada to the Mussel Shell River in Montana.
In 1900 they were believed to number about 7,000.
There were 2.022 Bloods and Piegans at the Blackfeet agency in Montana, a number of Blackfeet Sioux at the Cheyenne River agency in South Dakota and the Standing Rock agency in North Dakota, and the Siksika and the remainder of the Bloods, or Kinos, were in Canada.
