Abstract
Our purpose in this chapter is two-fold: we analyze a discursive practice used by Blackfeet people to say something about themselves; and in the process we offer a sort of primer in cultural discourse analysis. The materials for the former are drawn from Blackfeet (Amskapi Piikuni) people of northern Montana USA. As we examine these materials we will make explicit some of the concepts and procedures we use for cultural discourse analyses. By the end, we hope to contribute an understanding about a Blackfeet practice of communication as well as to introduce a perspective on discourse analysis, especially one based in cultural concepts, principles, and premises.
