Blackfoot Indians Chief and Warrior Vintage Tile

Blackfoot Indians Chief and Warrior Vintage- Historically, the member peoples of the Confederacy were nomadic bison hunters and trout fishermen, who ranged across large areas of the northern Great Plains of Western North America, specifically the semi-arid shortgrass prairie ecological region. They followed the bison herds as they migrated between what are now the United States and Canada, as far north as the Bow River. In the first half of the 18th century, they acquired horses and firearms from white traders and their Cree and Assiniboine go-betweens. The Blackfoot used these to expand their territory at the expense of neighbouring tribes. Now riding horses, the Blackfoot and other Plains tribes could also extend the range of their buffalo hunts.
