Jim: Here are some references for your class, there IS a film on
Montana Blackfeet made on the reservation during a summer sundance, its
very good and I've seen it but I don't know the name of it. Maybe someone
else does.
For readings I recommend Schultz (who married a Piegan woman and
lived 30 years with the Blackfeet) and McClintock who was in his 20s when
he met Mad Wolf and lived with the Piegan and Blood, learned the language
and had many Blackfeet friends. As for McFee, its nothing special and
misses a LOT about the values and traditions long held sacred by all
divisions of the Blackfeet.
