It's a fact that all native American tribes could historically be extremely aggressive towards anyone considered an enemy and the Cree were no exception. On the other hand, anyone considered a friend would be treated with respect and kindness.

As an example, in 1870 the Cree took advantage of disease among their long-term enemies the Blackfoot and attacked the Piegan, Blood and Blackfoot camps at Belly River at the site of later Lethbridge, Canada. Around 300 Cree were killed when the Blackfoot defenders overwhelmed them with sheer numbers.

In the following year the Cree and Blackfoot made a formal peace which was maintained permanently by both sides.
