Nearly 27 percent of enrolled members are of three-fourths or greater Indian blood. The Blackfeet Indians are commonly thought to have acquired their name because of the characteristic black color of their moccasins, painted or darkened with ashes.

The reservation is made up of 1.5 million acres and is located in the northwestern part of Montana, and includes most of Glacier County. On the north it borders the Canadian Province of Alberta. On the west it shares a border with Glacier National Park.
