When tribe with soot and ash all over their feet returned with other tribes the head chief named them the Blackfeet. Whent the band from the West returned, having crossed many berry patches - tribe walking through prairie with mountains in background - faces covered with red paint, carrying bushes. Says the paint looked like blood on their faces.
