Sarcee
The Sarcee lived in the area of the North
Saskatchewan river but by the seventeenth century,
they were being pushed south by the Cree. They allied
themselves with the \Blackfoot and became a part of the
greater Blackfoot Confederacy. In the early 1800's they
acquired horses and this greatly enhanced their
ability to hunt and follow buffalo herds but this also
led to a much greater amount of warfare between the
Sarcee and their enemies.
Estimates of the Sarcee population
around 1670 were of about 700 people but by 1800 their
numbers had fallen, and in the 1830's and the 1870's
they suffered from two epidemics, of smallpox and
Scarlett fever in 1856.
