The Blackfeet were the strongest military power on the
northwestern plains in the historic buffalo days. For half a
century up to 1805, they were almost constantly at war with the
Shoshonis and came very close to exterminating that tribe. They
aggressively asserted themselves against the Flatheads and the
Kutenais, shoving them westward across the Rockies. They got on
fairly well with English and Canadian traders during the heyday of
the fur trade on the Saskatchewan River, but on the upper Missouri
they took an early dislike to Americans, whom they called "Big
Knives." American fur traders, such as Manuel Lisa, Pierre Menard,
and Andrew Henry, were literally chased out of Montana by the
Blackfeet.
