im Jewish and Blackfoot. my Jewish side ov the family came to the Americans some time around the western expansion. we where poor Jews who traveled with the Amish. some ov the family stayed in modern day Indiana and a few bands took oof with the railroad. somewhere along the way a Blackfoot man (no name was on the photo and my family Is now racist) met my dads, moms, mom and followed her family back to Indiana. she and him had to live outside the city caue he wasn't Christian and wasn't white. the only photo ov them as a family was the whole family up front dour and propper, then in the background by a tree was the small figure ov the Blackfoot and my dad's mom's mom. he was waving and holding her hand, she was in a long black gown with a white apron and bonnet. he had a long jacket and tall wide brimmed hat with some band on it. i have no memory ov him, the family didn't talk ov him. the only time i ever heard him talked ov was as 'injin joe'. i always felt like i should have been at that tree with him, waving to people too good to be around me. a meandering story but... I'm able after many videos to almost understand what is said in Blackfoot. i would have liked to ask him what he wanted meto call him. i always called my great grandpa 'Stand with Love' i was 5 when saw the pic... and its probably racist but needed something to call him and "injin joe" is not right.

Great video. Love to my people.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge so we may all remember the Blackfoot history with smallpox and the devastating impact it had on the tribe.
My people 😭💚🌹
