This paper additionally calls for further research into the continued relationship between the Blackfoot peoples and the horse.īaldwin, Stuart J. Horses’ introduction to Blackfoot peoples proved to cause significant changes in the ways many conducted their lives, such as through the establishment of nomadic pastoralism and trade routes centered around the horse. Examining the relationship that the Blackfoot formed with horses demonstrates the significant influence that animals can have over people’s lives. These impacts and changes on lifeways are evidenced by European historical accounts, Indigenous oral histories, and the archaeological record. Almost all Blackfoot people would have felt the effects of the horse’s introduction, however not necessarily equally as these changes caused a shift in hierarchy. Blackfoot lives were transformed as their relationship with the land evolved, economic systems reformed, and trade, religion, and war became centered around the horse.
Looking specifically at one Northern Great Plains Indigenous people, this paper analyzes how Blackfoot lifeways were altered as a result of the protohistoric (seventeenth to eighteenth century) reintroduction of the horse. Research that considers Indigenous peoples’ relationships with horses typically focuses on Southern Plains groups and does not feature Northern Plains communities as a central aspect. Fewer studies, however, have considered how Indigenous peoples incorporated horses as an intrinsic aspect of their lives. The presence of horses in archaeological sites across North America is often noted in research as an indicator of European contact.
