[edit] Siksika

According the the Mansfield Library at the University of Montana the Blackfoot Nation in Montana is Siksika. Hyacinth 21:50, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC) hi

[edit] Usage: Blackfoot versus Blackfeet

I am personally acquainted with numbers of Montana Blackfeet and note that they invariably say "Blackfeet" not "Blackfoot," even in sentences like "I am a Blackfeet." It's the Blackfoot River but the Blackfeet nation. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.201.149.69 (talk) 22:03, 30 April 2007 (UTC).

That is the official name of the Montana tribe (see Blackfeet), but as far as I know most other Blackfoots (those in Canada) use "Blackfoot", rather than "Blackfeet". That seems to be what this site (which I've always found to be quite reliably accurate) would seem to suggest. --Miskwito 01:24, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "related groups" info removed from infobox

For dedicated editors of this page: The "Related Groups" info was removed from all {{Infobox Ethnic group}} infoboxes. Comments may be left on the Ethnic groups talk page. Ling.Nut 23:10, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move?

How about a move to Blackfoot Confederacy? That's how the article starts, and simplifies disambiguation from Siksika (which means blackfoot) and Blackfeet(Southern Piegan)? - TheMightyQuill 09:22, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Manitoba?

The article is included in Category:First Nations in Manitoba but doesn't mention manitoba in the text. Is that a mistake? - TheMightyQuill 09:29, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

It seems to be a mistake, yes. I removed it. --Miskwito 18:04, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
