The Blackfeet endured bungling, corrupt, and drunken agents; racist schoolteachers; and a federal Indian Bureau that failed to disburse millions of dollars owed to the tribe. Located on a reservation in Montana cut and cut again to give land to white ranchers, the Blackfeet adapted to complete loss of their staple food, bison—a collapse of what had been a sustainable economy throughout their history. Despite all of these challenges, the nation held to its values and continues to proudly preserve its culture.Siksika IndiansHistorySiksika IndiansGovernment relationsSiksika IndiansCultural assimilationSiksika IndiansHistory.Siksika IndiansGovernment relations.Siksika IndiansCultural assimilation.978.004/97352Wissler Clark1870-1947.1649159Kehoe Alice Beck1934-629101Miller Stewart E.1950-2009.1649160MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808185303321Amskapi Pikuni3997760UNINA
