No, this tribe only exists in the imaginations of authors Gale and Kandis Palmanteer. Popular fiction seldom has any connection with history.

The name derives from stories of a possible but unrecorded group of natives, or perhaps a place in the area of Big Blackfoot River in Montana: "Turney-High (1937) thinks that this tribe was mythical or else that it was the name of an unknown non-Salishan people who preceded the Salish in western Montana." (John Reed Swanton's "Indian Tribes of North America".
