Abstract

"This book is about a Blackfeet family who lived in the northern plains. It describes the activities of these nomadic hunters and gatherers who followed the great herds of bison.

Now the huge bison herds have disappeared. The Blackfeet today are no longer able to live by following the bison. This book will help you understand how the Blackfeet once lived and how they were able to survive in the dry, western plains."--page i.
