The Blackfeet Indian Reservation is in the U.S. state of Montana, located just east of Glacier National Park. In fact, the Blackfeet ceded the land that is now Glacier Park to the United States to make the park. It borders the Canadian province of Alberta.
The Blackfeet Indian Reservation is home to the primarily Piegan Blackfeet branch, and some Southern Siksika. The other three branches of the Blackfoot tribe reside on other reservations in Alberta, Canada.
By the time the Blackfeet had migrated to the Northwest, they were organized as a confederacy of three politically independent tribes. The southernmost tribe was the Piegan, the central tribe the Bloods and the northern tribe the Northern Blackfeet or Blackfeet proper.
More specific tribal names for the three groups are: Pikuni – Piegan; Siksika – Northern Blackfeet; and Kainah – Blood. The Kainah and the Siksika reside on reservations in Alberta, Canada.
