Peigan (Pikuni) (463 words)
Peigan or Pikuni form the largest of the 3 tribes of the BLACKFOOT NATION.
In 1870 the population of the southern tribe was 3240 and the northern tribe 720.
In 1855 the Peigan were prominent signers of a treaty with the Americans, but by 1877 the southern group had already settled on a reservation in Montana, so only the northern tribe signed Treaty No 7 with the Canadian government.
