AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article provides a comprehensive, introductory analysis of Blackfoot culture and social organization. Forde's attention focusses mainly on the concrete aspects of Blackfoot subsistence and settlement activities; less information is presented on religion and ceremonial. Emphasis is placed on changes resulting from the introduction of the horse and upon buffalo hunting by males, rather than on a wider range of hunting and gathering activities.
