Iam an indian eh??
i saw this place in a dream. its so weird
Them anit the original peoples of Canada. The original peoples were very dark brown skin moors. These light skin pale face people are biracial Johnny come lately people. The moors of Canada didn’t get light skin till the European CAUCASOIDES came to north America.. before the 1800’s all the people of Canada were very dark to almost black skin people. These light skin people are imposters.
i love my people, my ancestors come from Cutbank, MT. USA, but i love to see what they have across my countries borders.
this is so cool
My Great Grandmother was Blackfoot. Check out & explore
Black n Wild
My great great grandma was full blooded so I not anything problems know I’m my dad side I don’t know but allow was in to this I went to Arizona to learn about it
Dane Calloway!!
According to my mum her dad was blackfoot, I’ve never met him or I just don’t remember because I was just a baby, I’m really enjoying the video though it’s very well done ❤️
I wish i would have been born 200 years earlier and met these people then in their original culture.
Great video, btw.
Greetings from Europe!
The crunch for the bread
i am little otter 7 generation blackfoot indian i will grow to be wolf
I don’t think they like to be called Blackfoot
I think you should head down to Montana on the reservation in Browning. That’s were pretty much all my family oh my dads side live. Just about. I’m related to at the least 15% of the Rez, which is a lot.

I am Blackfoot and Proud!
I’m on a video binge. I’m the only child in my family that looks drastically different compared to my siblings and cousins. I used to think I was adopted because I was called “asian” due to the way my eyes are shaped (like slits with beady eyeballs). After my Grandma passed away, we found photos of her grandparents. My Great Great Grandfather was Blackfoot and he married my Cherokee Great Great Grandmother. I have my GG Grandfathers eyes and thick black hair. My siblings have blonde and light brown hair and look more like my European/Mediterranean/Scandinavian side of the family. As I’ve grown though, we have noticed similarities in each other, but as a kid my skin was tan and my siblings were pale. Crazy how genetics works. Even though I may look it, I don’t feel like it’s right for me to call myself Native American considering that it’s been a few generations and I’m not a direct descendant, but it would be cool to know if I have cousins out there. I should probably get a DNA test done though considering how uncanny my resemblance is. Fun Fact: We found a family photo of GG Grandfather and Mother smoking a pipe full of Hash. I have to find it, but I’m pretty sure it was dated at around 1907-11.
Proud Blackfoot and Stoney Nakoda
They are too light to be blackfoot!
From the looks of the comments section, the Blackfoot people hooked up with a lot of, I’m assuming whites, including my great grandmother on my father’s side, which was Blackfoot. I have a somewhat superficial inquiry here: Do Blackfoot people have difficulty with whiskey? Whenever I drank whiskey, I would go on major rampages of destruction and get into fistfights with people I didn’t like, but whom I would normally tolerate, or just avoid. I didn’t have these issues with vodka, wine, champagne, beer, etc. Just whiskey. My mother told me that my father had issues with whiskey also, she only saw him drink it once and he thought that he was being possessed by demons while drunk on it, and even called a priest for help. My father was a sane and good man, so I think this was a result of a genetic aversion to whiskey that we both share. I mean no offense by this question, I’ve just been curious about this for many years since I stopped drinking. This is not the only question I have about this people’s history, it’s just one that I’ve had in the back of my mind.
INDIGENOUS BLACKFOOT INDIAN . We are not gone, I am not a 5 dollar Indian. We are of copper skin tone mainly with curly to wavy straight hair, we were forced to identify as black/African American. WE ARE STILL HERE!! Organic 100%.
They needed someone more reverential than the VagaBros to accept the meal she fixed.
Im blackfoot and this guy is no spriritual leader. First discern is when a leader states there spiritual standing.
The ancestor who bought my families freedom was half Blackfoot, it’s thanks to him that we have such a remarkable history
Fascinating. My family’s farm is on the Battle River, in Alberta. This river was the demarcation between the Cree and Blackfoot, from what I understand. I know that my heritage definitely has indigenous blood–wonder from which tribe…
Yeah! It’s kool af right ?! Y’all ancestors thought so too that’s why that TOOK our land
I’m black foot on my moms side….a stranger came up to me in the store and literally told me I looked like I was black foot and my JAW DROPPED…….we really are connected through the great spirit
Scientists now think that the ancestors of First Nations people may have come to North America from several different parts of Asia and Polynesia, following several different routes. Some may have come on woven reed rafts, or boats, across the Pacific from Asia and various islands thousand years ago. Many of these people came from the ancient country of Ophir (modern-day Philippines), the birthplace of the human race. It is said to be the Isles of so many Islands which King Solomon described in the Bible where he told his navies to transport for a 3-year journey from Israel to Ophir vice versa Gold, Silver, Peacocks, Apes and Algum Trees (Narra). The Lost Garden of Eden has vanished after The Great Flood (Noah) somewhere in the Sulu sea along Palawan Islands. This is the center of the Marine Biodiversity in the whole world. Kudos to the First Nation of Canada.
My dad is Blackfoot and my mom is white and live all the way up in Ontario
My grandparents and great grandparents were blackfoot. Id love to learn more about my ancestors
