Darrell Kipp (23 October 1944 - 21 November 2013) was a Native American author, historian, and educator.[1] He is a member of the Blackfoot tribe and director of the Piegan Institute.[2][3] In 2004 he joined composer Robert Kapilow to create a large-scale choral and orchestra work for the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial. The work, entitled Summer Sun, Winter Moon, was commissioned by the Kansas City Symphony, the Saint Louis Symphony and the Louisiana Symphony. The work premiered in September 2004. A documentary of the event, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, was made and aired on public television.[4]

Kipp wrote the introduction to the second edition of book Mythology of the Blackfoot Indians (compiled and translated by Clark Wissler and D. C. Duvall), published by Bison Books in 2008.[5]
