Blackfeet Country 2010….they were here!

Blackfeet Footprint The technicians and tribe are critical to keeping a Blackfeet footprint on the compact A core group of tribal technicians must be able to articulate political, personnel, community, and financial issues relevant to the Blackfeet Compact In spite of the best technical efforts, the final outcome is decided by a vote of the Blackfeet Tribal Membership
