The Blackfoot Fair
Posted By thecircusblog on August 20, 2010
The Blackfoot Idaho Fair. This fair was just one of many lucrative fairs that the Siebrand Bros played. We not only made money, we had fun. The whole town turned out for this once a year event. The Chief in this photo, along with many other Native American people played a very important part with their dancing and singing. In a special area they had an Indian Village where one could buy hand made goods. This photo taken in 1951.

This is an historically important photo. Thank you so much for posting it. The local tribe would like to receive a high-res copy if possible. Many images such as this are the only known photos of tribal members. Would you mind sending me digital copies of this and any similar pictures so I can get them to the right people? If you would like to donate the original or a photo negative to the tribe I can help facilitate that. Thank you again for sharing!
