  1. In addition to Evelyn's response, there was also a Blackfoot tribe in Virginia and North Carolina, completely unrelated to the tribe in Montana and not as well known.


  2. Here are some links to help get you started:

    http://www.blackfeetnation.com/ Official Site of the Blackfeet Reservation

    From: http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/tr...

    Within the recent historic period, until gathered upon reservations, the Blackfeet held most of the immense territory stretching almost from North Saskatchewan river, Canada, to the southern headstreams of the Missouri in Montana, and from about lon.105° to the base of the Rocky mountains. A century earlier, or about 1790, they were found by Mackenzie occupying the upper and middle South Saskatchewan, with the Atsina on the lower course of the same stream, both tribes being apparently in slow migration toward the north west (Mackenzie, Vov., lxx-lxxi, 1801). This would make them the vanguard of tile Algonquian movement from the Red river country. With the exception of a temporary occupancy by invading Cree, this extreme northern region has always, within the historic period, been hold by Athapascan tribes. The tribe is now settled oil three reservations in Alberta, Canada, and one in north west Montana, about half being on each side of the international boundary.

  3. The Blackfoot tribe primarily lives in Montana, USA, and Alberta, Canada.  Try http://www.blackfoot.org to reach the official Blackfoot web site.
