Winter
For almost half the year, the Blackfoot bands lived in winter camps. The bands were strung out along a wooded river valley, perhaps a day's march apart; in areas with adequate wood and game resources, some bands might camp together all winter. From about November to March, the people would not move camp unless food supplies, firewood or pasture for the horses became depleted.
