Plains Native American Lands

Plains Native American Lands
The Blackfoot were a group of Native Americans who lived in the Northern Plains region, near the border of Canada. Europeans conquered the Plains peoples during the 19th century and subjected them to the publicity of newspapers, magazines, and photographs. This mass media exposed the Plains cultures to a wide audience, and as a result the Plains peoples are the most documented and stereotyped of the Native American populations.
