Description:
From: North American Indian Costumes, Vol. 1, p. 17: The Blackfeet or Siksikas were an important Algonquian confederacy of the southern plains and the foothills of the Rockies. They consisted of three tribes, Blackfoot, Blood and Piegan. Their language is so different from that of other Algonquins as to indicate that their separation from the main stock took place early. In spite of living in the mountains, they retain many characteristics of the Plains Indians. The Whites did not penetrate into their country until the '60s and '70s. They have therefore kept much of their original culture. Their tradition goes back to the time before they had horses. By 1800 they owned large herds of these animals, stolen from tribes further south. In character, they were restless, aggressive, and always in conflict with their Indian neighbours. They were at no time officially at war with the United States, but their general attitude was hostile. They professed an uncertain friendship with the Hudson's Bay Company men. So far as we have any knowledge, the Blackfeet have always been buffalo hunters, without permanent villages and without agriculture except for the cultivation of tobacco. Some 600 of them are known to have died of starvation in 1883-4 because of the destruction of the buffalo by the Whites. They suffered great losses from smallpox in 1838, 1843, 1858, and 1869, and were reduced from about 10,000, when first encountered, to 3,500 in 1930. They are tall, of splendid physique. They lived in tipis until recently. The tribe is noted for its love of beautiful costume, and they are perhaps the best accoutered Indians in the United States; naturally, they wear their finery only on special occasions, or when serving as receptionists at Glacier National Park. The men wore buckskin shirts and leggings, breech cloths and robes, magnificently decorated with beads and fringe. The shirts had sleeves and the sides were tied in two or three places. The leggings were hip-length and held up by thongs to the belt. Shirts and leggings were often trimmed with human hair, and with quillwork or beads. Shoes were made of buffalo or elk hides. Fur caps made from whole skins were used in winter. The feathered war bonnet was not as common among them as among other Plains people. Skin caps with horns attached were often used instead; they were decorated with white weasel tails. Claws of grizzly bear made into a necklace were worn only by chiefs and distinguished men. They colored their faces with red clay over which they applied a glossy lead color paint. description From: North American Indian Costumes, Vol. 1, p. 17: The Blackfeet or Siksikas were an important Algonquian confederacy of the southern plains and the foothills of the Rockies.
