There were (and are) two completely different tribal groups in North America who have been called Blackfoot or Blackfeet; they have no connection with each other.The Blackfoot Sioux (sihasapa) are a branch of the Teton Lakotas, living in the north-west part of South Dakota between the Sans Arc and the Minneconjou. They spoke the Lakota dialect of Sioux. Today they are mainly found on the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River reservations in South Dakota.The Blackfoot tribes (siksikakwan) of Montana, Saskatchewan and Alberta formed a strong coalition which included the Piegan, Blood and Blackfoot proper - these are all Algonquian speakers; they had allies in the Sarcis and Gros Ventres, making them the most powerful force on the far northern Plains.Links below take you to images of Blackfoot Lakota and Blackfoot warriors:
I can't tell you what the Blackfoot Indians grew on the Great Plains because frankly they did not farm. But I can tell you about what other things they ate and how the got their food. The Blackfoot staple food was buffalo. Blackfoot men usually hunted the buffalo by driving them off cliffs or stalking them with bow and arrow. As they acquired horses, the Blackfoot tribe began to pursue the buffalo herds for communal hunts, moving their villages often as the buffalo migrated. In addition to buffalo meat, the Blackfoot Indians also ate small game like ground squirrels, nuts and berries, and steamed camas roots as part of their diet.

There are two unconnected and unrelated groups of people in North America who have been given the name "Blackfoot" or "Blackfeet". One tribe is a part of the Sioux people, who call themselves siha sapa; the other (much larger group) is the Blackfoot people of Montana, Alberta and Saskatchewan who call themselves siksikakwan. The languages, beliefs and social structures of these two groups are totally different.The Blackfoot Sioux were not a separate tribe at the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition, but had become so by about 1825. They still exist today on the Standing Rock Reservation in South Dakota.The Blackfoot group of the far northern Plains have a much older history; long before the first European explorers encountered them they were the most westerly of the Algonquian-speaking tribes. Since at least 1750 the three tribes that make up the group have been known by distinct names: Piegan, Blood and Blackfoot (collectively called Blackfoot). These three tribes still exist today, but their prehistoric origins are lost in the mists of time.
