That depends on which particular Blackfoot tribe and at what specific date.

The Blackfoot Sioux (part of the Teton Lakota people) lived in north-western South Dakota and they have always been a very small tribe with perhaps around 220 lodges (tipis) in 1833, equating to around 1,100 people. Today they probably have fewer people than that figure.

The totally unconnected Blackfoot confederation of Montana, Saskachewan and Manitoba consisted of the Piegan (Pikuni), Blood (Kainah) and Blackfoot (Siksika) tribes; they were also allied to the Sarci and Atsena tribes and were always a dominant group on the northern Plains. Of these the three confederated tribes numbered about 15,000 at the time of first contact with Europeans; the Siksika numbered perhaps 290 lodges and 3,000 people in the 1850s and there are now around 7,000 registered tribal members.
