Team Scope

The Blackfeet Tribe (Ampskapi Piikani) of the Blackfeet Nation are situated in northwestern Montana, United States on the Blackfeet Reservation. The Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksikaisitapi) is comprised of three tribes: the Blood (Kainai), the Piegan (Piikani) and the Blackfoot (Siksika) tribes. While members of the Blackfeet Tribe of Montana may descend from members of any of the three tribes of the Blackfoot Confederacy, it is comprised primarily of descendants of the Piegan (Piikani) band.

Goals

The goal of this project is to add well-sourced profiles of Tribal Members of the Blackfeet Nation in Montana, United States, along with their Enrolled descendants, to source any existing unsourced profiles, and to flesh out the biographies of all profiles.

Right now this project has the following members:

• Kitty Carr (Project Coordinator)
• Kathleen McDougle.

Here are some of the tasks that need to be done. Our team will be working on them, and could use your help.

• Source existing profiles according to WikiTree and the Native American Project guidelines
• Improve biographies of existing profiles
• Add profiles from Native American census records from 1892 onward.
