What is the blackfoot Indian environment like?

Answer 1

The three Blackfoot tribes (and their allies the Atsinas) lived on the far northern Plains in northern Montana, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

The northern Plains people experienced extremes of weather, from intense, dry heat in summer to incredibly cold winters with deep snow sometimes lasting for many weeks. These resulted from Arctic high-pressure air masses from the north-west, mainly during January and February. Temperatures can reach -23 degrees centigrade.

Starvation was an ever-present threat during the winter months.

The landscape is generally fairly flat and mostly barren of trees, with many types of grasses (fine if you happen to be a buffalo!), sagebrush, puffball mushrooms. Cottonwood and willow occur only along river banks.

There were often round depressions created by buffalo rolling in the dust in the same place over a long period - these would later fill with rainwater to create circular ponds. They are known as "buffalo wallows" - a reminder of a long-ago time when huge herds covered the grasslands.
