Discover The Hidden World Of Native Americans Through Rare And Stunning Photographs

Blackfoot

In Glacier National Park, a photograph from 1933 shows three Blackfoot individuals preparing food inside their tipi. The Blackfoot nation has a deep connection with the park, known as "the backbone of the world," and is considered their ancestral home. Once dominated by the Blackfoot in the 18th and 19th centuries, this vast area spanned from present-day Saskatchewan down to the Missouri River, covering a thousand miles. Currently, members of the Blackfoot nation strive to reclaim Glacier National Park as part of their homelands and a source of economic sustenance.
