A member of a Native American people of the northern Great Plains, or relating to the Blackfoot Confederacy of tribes; also a singular form referring to one person.
From 'black' and 'foot,' possibly referring to darkened moccasins from travel or burned prairie grass; the term describes several affiliated tribes in the Blackfoot Confederacy.
The Blackfoot Confederacy includes the Siksika, Blood, and Piikani nations—each politically independent but bound by shared language, culture, and history spanning thousands of years on the Great Plains.
