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. 606 $aSiksika Indians$xHistory 606 $aSiksika Indians$xGovernment relations 606 $aSiksika Indians$xCultural assimilation 615 0$aSiksika Indians$xHistory. 615 0$aSiksika Indians$xGovernment relations. 615 0$aSiksika Indians$xCultural assimilation. 676 $a978.004/97352 700 $aWissler$b Clark$f1870-1947.$01649159 701 $aKehoe$b Alice Beck$f1934-$0629101 701 $aMiller$b Stewart E.$f1950-2009.$01649160 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808185303321 996 $aAmskapi Pikuni$93997760 997 $aUNINA
