The Blackfoot
Steward JH. 1934. The Blackfoot. Field Division of Education
This report is a brief history and introduction to the Blackfoot culture. This paper, The Blackfoot, is one of many prepared by a special research group employed under the Civil Works Program of 1933-34 by the Field Division of Education, National Park Service, Berkeley, California. The objective of this paper is the compilation of such pertinent information as will be helpful in the preparation of ethnographic museum exhibits at Glacier National Park, and more specifically to outline the story to be interpreted by such exhibits and to aid museum preparators and Park Naturalists. Consequently it stresses those aspects of Blackfoot culture which are most adaptable to simple and effective museum display and treats but lightly those phases which cannot be objectively presented in the Museum. This paper should be of value as an introduction to the Blackfoot, particularly in view of its intensive bibliography.
