Historically, and before the reservation era, yes they all lived in moyis (the Blackfoot term for tipi). Some Blackfoot women married white men; mainly traders and mountain men and they would have lived wherever the husband lived.

On reservations some built log cabins or other more modern dwellings, but many continued to live in tipis. See link below for a photograph:

Why did Indians live in TeePees?

They need to move around with the animals so they wouldn't run out of food so they had to have housing that would come with them. The teepees were light and easily moved. It was a logical choice. P.S. It was not all Indians that lived in the teepee, for it was only the plains tribe.

What part of north America did the Blackfoot Indians live in?

There were (and are) two completely different tribal groups in North America who have been called Blackfoot or Blackfeet; they have no connection with each other.The Blackfoot Sioux (sihasapa) are a branch of the Teton Lakotas, living in the north-west part of South Dakota between the Sans Arc and the Minneconjou. They spoke the Lakota dialect of Sioux. Today they are mainly found on the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River reservations in South Dakota.The Blackfoot tribes (siksikakwan) of Montana, Saskatchewan and Alberta formed a strong coalition which included the Piegan, Blood and Blackfoot proper - these are all Algonquian speakers; they had allies in the Sarcis and Gros Ventres, making them the most powerful force on the far northern Plains.Links below take you to images of Blackfoot Lakota and Blackfoot warriors:


What languages were spoken by the Blackfoot Indians?

There were two different and unrelated tribal groups in North America referred to as "Blackfeet" or "Blackfoot" by white settlers.The larger group lived (and still live) in Alberta, Saskatchewan and northern Montana. These were the Blackfoot confederation, made up of the closely-related Blood, Piegan and Blackfoot tribes. They all spoke an Algonquian language (Siksiká or Blackfoot) very distantly related to the languages spoken in the north-eastern United States.A much smaller group were the Blackfoot Sioux, a division of the Teton Lakotas of the Missouri river in South Dakota. They spoke the Lakota language and today they mainly live at Standing Rock Reservation in South Dakota.Just to show the differences in their respective languages, here are a few words in Algonquian Blackfoot and the equivalent in Blackfoot Lakota:Algonquian Blackfoot ....................
