There are many accounts written of forays by the various Plains
Indian Tribes beyond what they considered their "home territory".
This painting depicts a small group of Blackfeet in what is now
Jackson Hole, near an area called Blacktail Ponds. Journeys for
war, retaliation, hunting, or horse stealing were made without
regard to the time of year. The time here is late winter. The
stick in the water was left by a trapper - used when setting
traps for beaver. |
