Native American Tribe Series

 Piegan

Today, the Piegan Indians, or Pikuni branch of the Blackfoot Indians, numbering about 6,000, primarily reside on the Blackfoot Indian Reservation in Montana. Part of the Blackfoot Confederacy, the word "Piegan” or "Pikuni” means "people having badly dressed robes.”  When white settlers began to push westward, the Piegan were the southernmost tribe of the Blackfoot, roaming through the Rocky Mountains on the south side of Marias River of Montana and along  both banks of the Missouri River. Despite their name, they were known for their beautiful craftwork designs in their tepees, clothing, weapons and riding equipment. Most exceptional were their war bonnets. Their reservations was established in 1855 when they were estimated to have numbered about 2,500. Like other tribes who were moved to reservations, their population fell to just a little more than 2,000 by the turn of the century.

This one got a new log. :)

Put some miles on while caching today! I started out in Parker for the event, some lab caches, and working on my 360 degrees of Colorado challenge. Peace love pi was going to join me, but felt a little under the weather. I wound up meeting her a little north of here to visit a cache on its birthday, and we wound up in Brighton. We didn't have a lot of time, so we picked this power trail nearby. I didn't realize it, but we hit about 26 caches in an hour and a half. We replaced logs and containers as needed. Sorry for the cut and paste logs mondou2, but I didn't take good notes. Thanks for the smiley! Find #3350.

Today @WindAtMyBack and I headed to the eastern plains to grab as many caches as possible after a busy morning. The cold of the past week has put a severe cramp in my caching style. Today that ends! The temperature was between 27 degrees all the way up to a comparatively balmy 32. Despite our suffering and chilled fingers it was obvious we weren't alone. I saw a bald eagle (twice), two Marlins, several magpies, a hawk, and best of all, for the first time ever, I saw pheasants. Three males and a female. Pretty cool day for sure! 41 caches found and only 2 DNF's.
This is one of the specific caches we targeted and found. Tftc!
