There are four dialects of Blackfoot, three of which are spoken in Alberta, Canada and one of which is spoken in the United States: Siksiká ( Blackfoot ), to the southeast of Calgary, AB ; Kainai ( Blood ), spoken in Alberta between Cardston and Lethbridge ; Aapátohsipikani ( Northern Piegan ), to the west of Fort MacLeod ; and Aamsskáápipikani ( Southern Piegan ), in northwestern Montana.

The Piegan ( also Pikuni, Pikani, and Piikáni ) are one of the three tribes of the Siksiká or Blackfoot confederacy.

Relations between the Blackfoot Confederacy ( comprising the Blackfoot, Blood, and Piegan tribes ) and whites had been largely hostile for years.

Amid this tension, the event which touched off the massacre involved a young Piegan Blackfoot, Owl Child, who in 1867 stole some horses from Malcolm Clarke, a white trader, as payment for his own horses, whose loss he blamed on Clarke.

" the bloodthirsty, cruel ", therefore, in English often referred to as Blood ) withdraw to the Bow River and Belly River, only the Siksika could hold their tribal lands along the Red Deer River.

This followed by the opening of Fort Piegan as the first American trading post in Niitsitapi territory in 1831, joined by Fort MacKenzie in 1833.

These nations include the Piegan, Siksika, Northern Piegan, and Kainai or Blood Indians.

In Canada, the Northern Piegan make clothing and moccasins, and the Kainai operate a shopping center and factory.
