Blackfeet Singers and Dancers - Details (24 images)

The craftsmanship and materials that go into hand-making the Blackfeet dancers' attire is amazing. The artists use traditional materials like eagle feathers, porcupine hair and more. They have also adopted modern materials like beads, dye, mirrors, bells, etc, to create designs that grab attention with their showy colors, and flowing lines. 

But they also reflect history and lessons of the tribe, through the images depicted. And all outfits are hand-made by the artist or a family member over hundreds of hours of meticulous, loving work.
