The Story of the Blackfeet is a non-fiction book written by John C. Ewers that explores the history and culture of the Blackfeet tribe, one of the largest Native American tribes in North America. The book covers the period from the pre-contact era to the present day, detailing the tribe's traditional way of life, their interactions with European settlers and other Native American tribes, and their struggles to maintain their cultural identity in the face of colonization and assimilation.Ewers draws on a wide range of primary sources, including oral histories, archival documents, and archaeological evidence, to provide a comprehensive and detailed account of the Blackfeet people. He covers topics such as their social organization, religious beliefs, economic activities, and political structure, as well as their interactions with the natural environment and the animals that were central to their way of life.Throughout the book, Ewers also explores the impact of European colonization on the Blackfeet people, including the devastating effects of disease, the loss of their traditional lands, and the forced assimilation policies of the US government. Despite these challenges, however, the Blackfeet have managed to maintain their cultural traditions and continue to play an important role in the modern world.Overall, The Story of the Blackfeet is a fascinating and well-researched account of one of North America's most important indigenous cultures. It provides a valuable insight into the history and traditions of the Blackfeet people and their ongoing struggle for recognition and respect in the modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
