NORTHERN PEIGAN

The 'Northern Peigans' or 'Aapátohsipikáni' are a First Nation, part of the ''Niitsítapi'' (Blackfoot Confederacy). Known as ''Piikáni'', "Pekuni" or ''Aapátohsipikáni'' (Northern ''Piikáni''/Peigan), they are very closely related to the other members of the Blackfoot Confederacy: ''Aamsskáápipikani'' (the Blackfeet of Montana or Southern ''Piikáni''/Peigan), ''Káínaa'' or Blood and the ''Siksiká'' or Blackfoot. At the time treaties were signed, the Northern Peigan were situated on the Oldman River, west of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, to the west of the Kainah tribe. The modern reserve (which includes the town of Brocket) is located near Pincher Creek.
