Piegan Blackfeet
The largest ethnic group in the Confederacy is the "Piegan", also spelled "Peigan" or "Pikuni". Their name derives from the Blackfoot term "Piikáni". They are divided into the Piikani Nation ("Aapátohsipikáni" ("the companion up there") or simply "Piikáni") in present-day Alberta, and the South Peigan or Piegan Blackfeet ("Aamsskáápipikani") in Montana, United States. A once large and mighty division of the Piegan were the Inuk'sik ("the humans") of southwestern Montana. Today they survive only as a clan or band of the South Peigan.
