It's habitatlon by man.
And the word exclusive is used WIN
its full meaning, especially IN the le'
gends Of these redmen, who proudly
relate that the Blackfeet braves nave

Rockies In northwestern Montana
against all invading tribes for so many
moons that It is ancient history.
The Blackfeet OF the Rockies enjoy
the distinction of being the aristooracy

1T is q strange coincidence that on
the reservation which adjons Glacier

bloods left. They have had translated
to them the significance Of the mean

little band OF tribal aristocrats reels
very proud Of this numerical distinc'

Three Bears probably Is the most
interesting Indian that Is left among
the Blackfeet, and he Is the Oldest
He gives an interesting explanation OF
how the Blackfeet came to be marked
as the American Indians, and in his
story he brings out the fact that so

Of the human race that is not confined
to white men, by any means,
He does not say 1t IN just this Ian
guage, but he emphasizes the fact that
the Indians OF other tribes always
were Jealous Of the Blackfeet and
coveted their position OF contentment
amid the luxuries which this great
natural game preserve Of the Rocky
Mountains furnished in the way or
wild animals, from which the Black
feet got bountlful food supply and
the finest skins for their raiment and

Is II any wonder there were social
lists, and even anarchists among the
Sioux, Crows, Nez Perces Kootenais
and other unfriendly tribes?
Three Bears do6s not talk word OF
English, but through an interpreter he
will tell you that these tribes always
were the enemies OF the Blackfeet
who, by the way, boast proudly Of the
fact that they never went to war with
the white people, Members Of the
