Etymology
Blackfeet is an English name for a Native American people that likely comes from the dark, black shoes they often wore, which stood out to other groups. Their own name is Niitsitapi, meaning 'real people', so today Blackfeet refers to that particular people and the Blackfeet Nation in Montana.
