Description

The collections of the Field Museum of Natural History contain 168 ethnographic objects collected among the Blackfoot (Blood) indians of southern Alberta by John M. Maclean for the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893 and George A. Dorsey in 1897. The artifacts in these collections are described and illustrated. For comparative purposes, information is included from previous studies of the Blackfoot, notably those of Wissler (1910) and Ewers (1939, 1945, 1958).
