Excerpt from Material Culture of the Blackfoot IndiansThe Blood and Blackfoot traded at the mouth of Vermillion River and at Fort Augustus (edmonton) which would place them northeast of the Piegan.5 All accounts agree in placing the Blood adjacent to the Piegan, and Mac kenzie 6 states that they ranged on the south branch of the Saskatchewan. This would be along the Red Deer River and southward. Somewhere to the east or northeast of these were the Blackfoot.The whole territory of the Piegan, Blood and Blackfoot is defined by Henry as follows a line due south from Vermillion Fort to the south branch of the Saskatchewan and up that stream to the foot of the Rocky Mountains, then goes N. Along the mountains until it strikes the N. Branch of the Saskatchewan, and down that stream to Vermillion River. 7 Henry was remarkably exact in the location of trading posts, etc., from which it is reasonable to infer that he took pains to inform himself as to the boundaries of the Indians. Yet, he is not quite consistent as to the southern boundary.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
