The Blackfoot religion was very complex. Their main god was the sun, but they also believed in a supernatural being named Napi, which means 'Old Man.'

The Blackfoot tribe also had complicated beliefs about supernatural powers in connection with nature. For example, they believe that animals have their own powers, and that these animals could give these supernatural powers on a person in a dream.

The Blackfeet now are willing to work in the same way that the white man works. They appreciate, as well as any one, the fact that old things have passed away, and that they must now adapt themselves to new surroundings. Therefore, they work in the hay fields, tend stock, chop logs in the mountains, haul firewood, drive freighting teams, build houses and fences, and, in short, do pretty much all the work that would be done by an ordinary ranchman. They do not perform it so well as white men would; they are much more careless in their handling of tools, wagons, mowing-machines, or other implements, but they are learning all the time, even if their progress is slow.

Jim Kipp describes his spiritual life as a Blackfeet:

"Our personal relationship with Creator (Nah-doo-si), Indian culture, religion, tradition, language, and living on the 'red path' of our ancestors is who the Blackfeet People are today.

This oral guidance has very strict, but respectful qualities of perpetual wisdom that will help us....
