Here are the stories of the Blackfoot tribe, a proud and fiercely independent people. These stories distill the wisdom of an ancient and wise race."The most shameful chapter of American history is that in which is recorded the account of our dealings with the Indians. The story of our government's intercourse with this race is an unbroken narrative of injustice, fraud, and robbery. Our people have disregarded honesty and truth whenever they have come in contact with the Indian."

George Bird Grinnell was an American anthropologist, historian, naturalist, and writer, known for his contributions to the study of Native American cultures and conservation efforts.

Grinnell became a prominent figure in the early conservation movement, advocating for the preservation of wildlife and natural habitats. His work as an ethnographer and historian led to the publication of several influential books and articles, where he documented Native American customs, folklore, and traditions. Grinnell's writings provided valuable insight into the lives of Indigenous peoples, preserving their stories and customs for future generations. He was also instrumental in the founding of the Audubon Society, further solidifying his commitment to conservation. Throughout his life, Grinnell collaborated with Native American leaders and became a respected figure in both the anthropological and environmental communities.
