Siksika Nation
The Siksika Nation is a First Nation in southern Alberta, Canada. The name ''Siksiká'' comes from the Blackfoot words ''sik'' (black) and ''iká'' (foot), with a connector ''s'' between the two words. The plural form of ''Siksiká'' is ''Siksikáwa''. The ''Siksikáwa'' are the northernmost of the ''Niitsítapi'' (Original People), all of whom speak dialects of Blackfoot, an Algonquian language.
When European explorers travelled west, they most likely met the ''Siksiká'' first and assumed all ''Niitsítapi'' of the Blackfoot Confederacy were Blackfoot, which is incorrect. The four ''Niitsítapi'' nations of the Blackfoot Confederacy are the ''Siksiká'', ''Káínaa'' (Kainai or Blood), ''Aapátohsipikáni'' (Northern Peigan), and ''Aamsskáápipikani'' (South Peigan or Montana Blackfoot). The approximate population of the Siksika Nation, as of 2009, is 6,000 people.〔
