The Blackfeet in the United States have a reservation in northwestern Montana, just east of the Rocky Mountains. The Blackfoot (same tribe, different name) also have a reserve in southwestern Alberta. There is a Blood (Kainah) reserve and a Blackfoot (Siksika) reserve farther north in Alberta.

Although (according to what population figures I've seen recently) about half of the regestered members of the tribes live on the reservation/reserves, the rest live nearby. Of course, some live far elsewhere. As far as what they are like today, it's like asking "What are the Dutch like today" or "What are Ethiopians like today" -- they are people who live their lives. Some are more involved in their traditional history, while others are more acculturated in American/Canadian society.

I'm less familiar with the Canadian side of things, but the American Blackfeet are undergoing something of a renaissance of traditional awareness, with lots of interest in reviving the use of their language. For more up-to-date information, I would visit the tribes' websites.
