Piikani: The Kainai/Blood People & Nation: Blackfoot Confederacy

Описание: This is a collection of words, photos and video clips about The Kainai/Blood People & Nation..., their culture, history. There are also other videos (one, just loaded beside this one) for "Strong Kainai & Blackfoot Women" and various Blackfoot Chiefs & Elders, in this channel.

--------------------------------------------------

The Kainai People, also known as the Blood or, Kainaiwa, are one of three nations comprising the Blackfoot Confederacy. The other two, are the Siksika and Piikani. The Kainai People have a land base of about 1,362 km2, bordered on all sides by the Oldman, St. Mary and Belly rivers, in Alberta. With the settlement of Europeans on their territory, in the mid-1800s, the Kainai People moved farther south to the regions around Pakowki Lake and the Belly and Teton rivers. The Kainai were a bison-hunting culture, which relied heavily on the animal, for food, shelter, clothing, domestic tools and weapons. As with many other Plains tribes, they suffered greatly, with the "almost" forced extermination of the buffalo, by American forces. They made pemmican out of bison meat, which was an important source of food during the winter, when bison were scarce.
