For the better part of two centuries, between 1720 and 1877, the
Blackfoot (Niitsitapi) people controlled a vast region of what is
now the U.S. and Canadian Great Plains. As one of the most
expansive and powerful Indigenous groups on the continent, they
dominated the northern imperial borderlands of North America. The
Blackfoot maintained their control even as their homeland became
the site of intense competition between white fur traders, frequent
warfare between Indigenous nations, and profound ecological
transformation. In an era of violent and wrenching change,
Blackfoot people relied on their mastery of their homelands' unique
geography to maintain their way of life. With extensive archival
research from both the United States and Canada, Ryan Hall shows
for the first time how the Blackfoot used their borderlands
position to create one of North America's most vibrant and lasting
Indigenous homelands. This book sheds light on a phase of Native
and settler relations that is often elided in conventional
interpretations of Western history, and demonstrates how the
Blackfoot exercised significant power, resiliency, and persistence
in the face of colonial change.
