MOUNTAIN CHIEF (Ninastoko)
              BLACKFOOT

                 By: Carl Waldman

The chief was born in the year 1848 in Southern Alberta along the
Belly River, which is now known as the Oldman River. He was the only inheritable chief of the
Blackfoot Indians left. Sometime in 1886 he signed a treaty surrendering the Blackfoot
lands east of the Sweet Grass Hills in Montana to the
federal government. Then in 1895 he granted the  Glacier National Park.

During  the 1920's, he became a government public figure
in Washington D.C. and the West notification of the Plain
Indians sign language.

He lived a long and interesting life.But everyone dies sometimes.He died in 1942, at the age of 94.

I wrote about this Indian Chief because I thought it was interesting and resembaled one of the different types of Indians.
