In 1830 the
Blackfoot signed a treaty to trade with the Americans. The two
cultures lived and traded side by side till gold was discovered
in 1862. This brought drastic change in attitude and little
respect for the land and the lives of the Blackfoot people. With
the demise of the buffalo the Blackfoot people were forced onto
reservations. By 1885 the military accomplished their mission
and the Blackfoot trade was over.
This book
will take you through the development of the fur and robe trade
with the Blackfoot and the Upper Missouri River trading posts.
