Blackfeet
Oral History is a collection of 33 Blackfeet Elders telling
stories of their life on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation
and stories of Blackfeet Oral History of various events dating
back to the late 1600s, 1700s, 1800s, and 1900s. Stories are
told in a Blackfeet dialect that is becoming lost and no longer
spoken because of evolutional changes in language. Blackfeet
Oral History captures stories, events, life stories that were
passed down from one generation to another through storytelling.
These stories will be translated to English, which is very
unique.
As young Blackfeet children we were all subjected to our
elders telling us stories that captivated us, as these were
stories of life lessons, history of our family names, how
we were to practice the ways of our elders to keep our families
strong and our lineage alive. Through modern times, we have
lost our ability to understand what they were telling us.
These CDs will provides us with a glimpse of a past that
was true, things did happen, life was hard, and a unique chance
to once again hear the stories.
