Who Are the Blackfeet Indians?
The Blackfeet Indians, or Piegan Blackfeet, are one of four closely related, Algonquin-speaking, North American aboriginal groups. The other three tribes are the Blackfoot or Siksika nation, the Northern Piegan, and the Kanai. Algonquin is a North American aboriginal language that was spoken by groups that lived in Canada, New England, the Great Lakes region, and the Rocky Mountains. It has been theorized that the Blackfeet Indians originated in the eastern United States and, at some point, migrated west. They now reside in Montana, while the other three groups are now located in Alberta, Canada. All four tribes make up the Blackfoot Confederacy.
