Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
The main purpose of this book is to present a volume of cultural information and historical facts about several neighbouring tribes living in and around the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, Alberta and Montana. It is especially intended as a handy reference for younger members of those tribes, who see a lot of educational material about the rest of the world, but not so much about their own. This illustrated handbook with photographs, maps, charts and historical data, includes the following groups: Blackfoot Confederacy, (Kainah, Pikunni, Siksika), Sarcee, Stoney, Kootenay, Flathead-Salish plus Treaties.
