Blackfeet (also known as Blackfoot or Niitsitapi) beaded moccasins are iconic examples of traditional Plains Indigenous craftsmanship from the Blackfoot Confederacy, which includes the Siksika (Blackfoot), Kainai (Blood), and Piikani (Peigan/Piegan) peoples, primarily in Montana (USA) and Alberta (Canada).

These moccasins are typically made from soft, brain-tanned hide (often deer, elk, or moose) with rawhide or hard leather soles for durability on the Plains terrain. Early versions used porcupine quillwork for decoration, but after European contact introduced glass seed beads (around the mid-19th century), intricate beadwork became prominent.
