Scroll down about one third: http://www.umt.edu/globalfirenet/chiefmtn.htm The origin semms to indicate that only "Blackfeet" makes any sense.

However there is a page of links for "Blackfoot Indians" Years ago I found pens made by the Blackfoot Indians" that were super...tons of ink and no gloppy tips. Pen said Blackfoot Indians right on barrell . Didn't we do this once before...looooong ago? No offense to newcomers...sometimes I cannot recall my name, other times ...well it's just luck! I guess! P.S. Ah Hah! Thread begun by Of Troy re pens : http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=wordplay&Number=39727 Reading old entry there seems there is confusion over Blackfoot/Blackfeet. And the Bureau of indian Affair page is unavailable. If you *really want to know try google of "U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs." Good luck!

To prove how rugged they were. The history books however have forgotten to mention that there right footed ones and left footed ones.

One pseudo-intellectual puzzle that I thought cool was one that some of you might remember, it goes something like this... There are two tribes of Indians, the Blackfeet and the Whitefeet. The Whitefooted indians never lied, and the Blackfooted indians never told the truth. Both tribes, however, always kept their feet covered, and the conundrum was to determine which one of these interesting savages was which. But, and here's the catch, only by asking them questions about their feet. I think you got as many questions as you needed to make a determination. Anyone remember the game and want to play? I think the method was rather simple. I will now try to remember what it was. I hope I got the instructions right. Milum the Hun.

Oh, come on.. Milo was having us on, and first used a series of diparaging terms about himself and his companions.. and signed off as "the Hun"... he managed to dis a large number of groups (many of which he claimed to belong to!) His post was good natured.. given how he defined his puzzle as pseudo-intelectual, i hardly think we need to react to his post as if he were some sort of rude, politically incorrect brute. which he might be.. but that's fodder for an other thread! my other obsession Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Page 1 of 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
