<br>the South Peigan (Aamsskaapipiikanii), the Kainai Nation (Blood), and<br>the Siksika<br>Nation ("Blackfoot") or more correctly Siksika ("Blackfoot people"). The South<br>Peigan are located in Montana, and the other three are located in
<br>Alberta. Together<br>they call themselves the Niitsitapii (the "Real People"). These groups shared a<br>common language and culture, had treaties of mutual defense, and<br>freely intermarried."<br><br><snip>
