   Dogs hold a special place in the Blackfeet culture. They were the beast of burden before the horse was (horses only became an Indian thing after the white Spaniards brought them over). Blackfeet have four periods of history: Creation, Dog Days, Horse and Gun, and the present.In the Dog Days, the dogs would haul everything on sleds. Even today, they’re used in some traditional Blackfeet ceremonies. Some other tribes in Montana used to eat dogs as part of their diet, but never the Blackfeet. They held them in high esteem. The Blackfeet have a saying: “A dog will give its life for its owner.” Today, there are stray dogs all over Browning. Everyone in town calls them the rez dogs. They forage and run together in packs, but rez dogs never attack people. They obey the rules of the town. You’ll even see them waiting for lights to turn green before they cross the street, swear to God.  |

Subject: rez dogs are nice Date: Feb 04 2006 02:21:52 AM Author: Krysti When I was a preschool aged kid on the rez, my dad took me and my older brother out for some sledding with our rez dog, Bup Bup. He tied the sled that we (me and my brother) were on, to Bup Bup, so he could pull us. Bup Bup saw a pack of wild rez dogs and took off after them at high speed over a big hill. My dad chased us in a panic and when he crested the hill he was afraid of what he would see. Luckily, what they say about Blackfeet rez dogs is true: they don't hurt humans.

If you don't like us- then start swiming east back to hell you came from. We never wanted you and we still don't want you "mo fo's" So go home to your queens. We Blcakfeet are one tough crowd. Get on with your life man! We don't sit around and comment on you and your dirty laundy. You have no meaning to us. My life goes on without you. I sore above your ignorance.....

Subject: rez dogs Date: Jan 30 2006 10:43:22 PM Author: ThomasD Contrary to what you were told rez dogs do attack people. They just don't live long afterwards. Anything that can survive a Browning winter -outdoors - is fucking tough... An essay on rez dogs, but no essay on rez rockets? That's not right. Subject: poor rez dogs Date: Jan 30 2006 11:44:05 AM Author: birdwoman When passing through Browning, you see a lot of dead dogs off of the highway. I think that the Blackfeet donīt believe in leashing or keeping their dogs fenced-in. The spirit is right, but itīs a bit sad to see. Subject: met some rez dogs.

If you're going out by yourself you carry a damn stick. Fuckin' rez dogs will take you down and bight your throat. I moved to a rez this summer and the first thing I was told was not to bring a rez puppie home, 'cause it's probably half wolf and will kill you in your sleep.
