It vividly portrays the sights and sounds of the prairie, the lives of the Indians and pioneers, the relations between farming men and women, and the ways the settlers adjusted to the advent of railroads and commercial agriculture.” Faragher divided Sugar Creek: Life on the Illinois Prairie into five sections. The “Howling Wilderness” examines the dispossession of the Algonquian speaking Indians and settlement of Anglo-Americans on the frontier. “The Country of Plenty to Eat” focuses on the creation of a distinctive rural landscape in Illinois. Social relationships between men and women were discussed in “Lords of the Soil, Tenants of the Hearth” and the community life in the west and the transition to commercial agriculture were described in “All is Changed.” Faragher used the narrative of Robert Pulliam, who was born in Virginia and migrated to Illinois with his parents before settling on Sugar Creek.

The Blackfeet Indians were Algonquian-speaking tribe of the Northern Great Plains. The Blackfeet migrated to their homeland from the east, after having separated from other Algonquians. The Blackfoot Confederacy was once so powerful that they controlled a huge expanse of the Northwestern high plains, from the North Saskatchewan River in what is now Alberta all the way to the upper Missouri river in Montana, flanked on the West by the Rocky Mountains. “Members of the Blackfoot Confederacy included three sub-tribes or bands, the Blackfoot proper (or Siksika, meaning “those with black eyed moccasins” in Algonquian), the blood (or Kainah, meaning “blood,” so named because they painted their bodies with red clay), and the Piegan (or Pigunni, meaning “poorly dressed”), plus the Gros Ventre and Sarcee” (Waldman34). All three of the Blackfeet bands plus the Gros Ventre and Sarcee were Algonquian speaking peoples.
Their tribes were subdivided into bands, interrelated groups, and these bands had their own governing councils and decision making processes.

The story of Arctic Small Tool tradition in Manitoba, represented by the Pre-Dorset occupation, is significant in that the sites represent the most southerly occupation of this culture. Giddings (1953) first identified it in northern Manitoba. The Thyazzi Site on the North Knife River was later tested by Nash in 1965 and assigned to an early to mid-Pre-Dorset occupation on the basis of the lithic assemblage (Nash 1969:48).

Through this we can see that when they move to the frontier they are basically leaving what was known as the
