As previously stated, it is customary to accept the political units of the Indian as tribes or independent nations.

The Blackfoot, on the other hand, are composed of three distinct political divisions, the Piegan, Blood, and Blaokfoot, with no superior government, yet they feel that they are one people with common interests and since they have a common speech and precisely similar cultures, it is customary to ignore the political units and designate them by the larger term.
