The Blackfoot, or Niitsitapi, are an Indigenous confederacy of peoples historically living across the northern Great Plains of present-day Canada and the United States. Their culture is closely tied to the plains landscape and the historical importance of the bison, with rich traditions expressed through ceremonies, storytelling, and artistic craftsmanship.
