Blackfoot Chief at Bow River

By the late 1700's most tribes were mounted or had access to horses. The horse, first introduced to the Blackfoot in the 1730's greatly improved their mobility, making their hunting, and warfare more efficient.  The Blackfoot chief pictured here poses proudly for Curts' camera in the beautiful setting of the Bow River.
