Blackfoot

The Blackfoot were a tribe from Arizona. It was the first of the tribes that Caesar took control of and forged into his Legion.

Background
While on their way to learn tribal dialects in the Grand Canyon, Caesar, then Edward Sallow, Joshua Graham, and Bill Calhoun were captured by the Blackfoots, who intended to hold them for ransom. Before Graham had the opportunity to do so, the group was captured by the Blackfoot tribe, who intended to hold them for ransom. Graham blamed a miscommunication due to a translation error, noting that the Blackfoots were initially friendly.

Sallow learned that the Blackfoots were at war with seven other tribes, and were outnumbered. Against Calhoun's objections, Sallow taught the Blackfoot new ways to wage war, which he had learned from old books. With Sallow's help, the Blackfoots defeated or assimilated the opposing tribes, and once the group of tribes was large enough, Sallow removed their tribal identities, replaced them with "a monolithic culture, a uniform identity." Sallow crowned himself Caesar and created "a single Great Tribe," known as the Legion.
