Blackfoot Migrations and Diaspora

The homeland of the Blackfoot tribes was the Great Plains spreading through what today is Central United States and into Canada. They were happily living in these plains and peacefully kept to themselves until they were invaded by the Europeans that were cutting into their territory. The only migrations that I have found were the forced movements from their own land onto separate reservations put aside for Blackfoot tribes.

The Blackfoot were moved onto the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana which is 1,462,640 acres (2,285 square miles). The Montana Blackfoot Nation has a population of 15,560 with 10,405 of it living on the reservation. Other members of the Blackfoot Confederacy who were unhappy with the conditions of reserves moved from their lands in the US into Canada.
