The Blackfoot, or Blackfeet Indians, buffalo-hunting people are residents of the northern plains, particularly in Montana, Idaho in the U.S and in southern Alberta, Canada. There were three Blackfoot bands living in Montana, but today there is only one tribe living in Montana.
Today the Blackfoot tribes reside on four reservations. Over 6,000 Indians, mostly of Piegan decent, live on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Montana (also known as Pikuni); fewer than 20 percent are full blood. In addition, there are more than 9,000 Indians living on the Blackfoot, Blood, and Piegan reservations in Alberta (Britannica Online). (According to the 1990 census by the U.S. Department of Congress there are 32,234 Blackfoot Indians comprising 1.7 percent of the current Indian population.)
yes they lived in teepees and on the southern coast of Alberta
I am assuming you mean the Blackfoot peoples of Alberta, Montana and Saskatchewan, not the Blackfoot Sioux who are an unrelated and distinct tribe with a different language. Even some Native Americans do not realise that there is a difference. The Blackfoot word for the number two is natoka, pronounced nahtohka.
The Blackfoot Indians live in the Northwest corner of Montana now. The Blackfeet held most of the immense territory stretching almost from North Saskatchewan river, Canada, to the southern head-streams of the Missouri River in Montana, and from about longitude 105° to the base of the Rocky mountains. A century earlier, or about 1790, they were found occupying the upper and middle South Saskatchewan, with the Atsina Indians on the lower course of the same stream, both tribes being apparently in slow migration toward the north west.

The Blackfoot tribe lived in the Great Plains of Montana. This tribe also lived in Alberta, and Saskatchewan in Canada.
Browning, Montana is the home to the Piegan Blackfeet while the largest number are a part of the Blackfoot Confederacy in Alberta, Canada.

The Blackfoot people lived in the northern Plains of what is now Montana, Idaho and Alberta, Canada. These nomadic, warrior Indians moved a great deal, so they needed a pick-up-and-go housing. It was the women who were responsible for the construction of the cone-shaped teepees that were covered with buffalo skins.
Blackfoot is spoken mainly in the United States and Canada, specifically in Montana, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. It is most commonly spoken in the Blackfeet Nation in Montana and the Siksika, Piikani, Kainai, and Amskapi Pikuni tribes in Alberta, Canada.
