Abstract
The article includes particularly detailed descriptions of Blackfoot quiliwork and leather manufacture, both rawhide and soft-tan, the latter with a mixture of brains, fat, and often liver, or a mixture of flour, lard, and warm water. Leather-working tools are described and pictured. A section lists the local pigments used in painting. Other aspects of Blackfoot culture, food habits, transportation, shelter, dress, and warfare are described. -- AATA
