Anotations

Scope note:

Style and culture of the Native American peoples currently occupying an area north of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, who were the northernmost of the Niitsítapi (Original People). When European explorers travelled west, they probably encountered the Siksika people first and erroneously assumed that all people of the Blackfoot Confederacy were Blackfoot. The four Niitsítapi nations of the Blackfoot Confederacy are the Siksika, Kainaa (Blood), Aapatohsipikani (Northern Peigan), and Aamsskaapipikani (South Peigan or Montana Blackfoot).
