The Piikani Blackfeet: A Culture Under Siege

Jackson, an independent scholar and author of several publications, looks at the profound effects of European contact with the Piikani Blackfeet in Northern Montana and Southern Alberta. The book examines how the Piikani mastered horseback riding, how they defended their territory against fur traders, American expansion, and other Indian nations, and the ways they celebrated and coordinated ritual.
