Abstract
This work is a traditional ethnography of the Blackfoot Indians in the days when buffalo (bison) roamed the plains (ca. 1700s-1870s). The document discusses the early fur trade period, foods , food preparation and preservation, folk tales and mythology, ceremonials (especially in reference to the sacred tobacco rites), and warfare and raiding activities in which several eyewitness accounts of personal experiences are described. A brief biographical chapter is also presented on Chief Crowfoot , one of the prominent chiefs of the Blackfoot.
