The ancestors of Treffery Deerfoot have long had a deep connect with the land they call home in Alberta, Canada. Treffery is a member of the Black Foot Confederacy, a group of aboriginal Americans that were once nomadic bison hunters across the northern Great Plains of Western North America.

_'We were not land-owners, we're people that care take after that land.'_

[@earthunplugged]

+Hells Wind It was this sentiment from Treffery that really caught our attention as well!

[@WhispersOfWind]

BBC Earth Unplugged _Wise_ 'Indians' (people). Wish there were more around of that 'type', with all due respect.

[@EloraCaistina]

+Hells Wind Might I correct you on a simple error with that comment the term "Indian" is in fact incorrect term for the aboriginal of this land just using their name black foot would be much better as Indian generally refers to another people. :3 Pardon my spelling keyboard typing isn't my strong suit.

[@WhispersOfWind]

〈3miku〈3 Oh, okay. Hmm, sure; no problem: pardon my ignorance. Thank you for pointing this out to me, if I've gathered it correctly; that the _Native_ tribes of the Americas were the Blackfoot tribe/tribes. Thank you for pointing out that to me, as no one else did up to now. It is good to know (remember).

[@EloraCaistina]

Awesome glad I could point that out X3 and I believe there were many multiple tribes in te Americas

[@jenniferhale7112]

The more I learn of my family past the more I realize why I feel the way I do and the things I understand its a feeling of your existence to want to protect everything

Great work. I would love to see more videos of this nature and quality that explore the tribes of North America.

[@skyhaven4131]

My Grandma came from Blackfoot my Grandad Irish (my Mom's side) and on my Dad's side was all German. Want so much to learn about my ancestors!

[@risqiekahzii4806]

People said that blackfoot turned into wolves. Is that true???

[@skyhaven4131]

Don't really know, still learning about them. But sounds like a very interesting question! Wish I we're able to answer it for you.

[@risqiekahzii4806]

Yea because my grand parents had blackfoot in them and my mom passed it to me. Then i found that they turned people into wolves

[@returnoftheyak]

What a collaberation! More like this please guys.

[@vagabrothers]

+The Yak Collective more on the way :)

I'm Anishinawbe that was adopted by Blackfoot folk, save my worthless life! It really fills my heart hearing their teachings and the accent it comes with! If I'm around them long enough my accent changes too...😎

I keep trying to find my yang. Where are you ? You deceive me my Yin.

[@Ferda1964]

Wonderful video.

[@rubenaugustoritto156]

Absolutely beautiful

[@vagabrothers]

+Ruben Matías R. C. thanks :)

[@ehrlichlanierc7429]

Hi Vagabrothers, Thanks so much for this video. With all that is in the news right now, especially political hype/tripe which could persuade people in a wrong direction, I truly believe we need more of your videos OUT and out everywhere and a lot! This sends the mind "thinking" all by itself and helps bring balance. The video allows the soul to reach the brain. In this day and age that is often difficult but more necessary than ever. Thank you again and keep it coming but more frequently and would you please send it to other areas, I.e. The View, The Talk, Wendy Williams, Ellen Degenarist, CBS News, CNN, EVERYWHERE so people can connect with their true basic heritage and their souls. We are sitting on a time bomb right now and we need help. You can be a huge catalyst to help our country.

[@vagabrothers]

+ehrlichlanier c thanks for this message, we will do our best. Really appreciate your support :)

[@colemyst]

[@neddyladdy]

These blokes don't mind the term blackfoot, it sounds pretty dergoatory to me.

[@whiskeygap]

neddy laddy it was a term for the color of our moccasins after walking through burned prairies. Our names for ourselves are the Kainai, Pikuni and Paigan.
