Abstract
Native American literature focuses on major themes and issues closely related to what people think embodies the foundation of Native American identity. It tries to accurately illustrate Native American history, culture, society by concentrating on the importance of some of their most valuable treasures like harmony and balance, nature, land, spirituality and oral storytelling. The primary purpose of this paper is to recreate the lifestyle of the Blackfeet tribe at the end of the nineteenth century through James Welch’s novel Fools Crow. Another aim is to examine the changes in Blackfeet society caused by the contact with the white people – Napikwans and give an overview of the calamities the Blackfeet tribe had to go through as whites took over their lives and territory. By examining Blackfeet culture, historical background and their organization of society, the paper brings to light not only their struggle for equality, freedom and independence, but also serves as a tribute to their courage, agony and reputation. Fools Crow teaches, educates and furthers our knowledge about beliefs, attitudes, morals and values of the Blackfeet people and demonstrates the historical, social and cultural circumstances which helped to shape the tremendous story told through the eyes of the Blackfeet tribe.
