Glasgow Visit
in
On April 3, 2011 a small group of Blackfoot from Kainai traveled to Glasgow, Scotland to view their Plains Collection. Adrienne Heavy Head, Ryan Heavy Head, Narcisse Blood and Alison Brown from the University of Aberdeen viewed as much of the collection that was possible to view. Most of the Glasgow Collection is from Wounded Knee, collected after the massacre. These materials were not viewed as they are not possible Blackfoot and they were taken from the dead. The items that are shown here are all marked only as "Plains" or "North America". There is very little information on where or which peoples these were taken from. A complete inventory of the Glasgow Museums North American collection is provided. Photographs and video were taken by Adrienne Heavy Head for use by the Blackfoot Digital Library.
