Absolutely! How fortunate you are to have even that much information that you can access with certainty. Many of us are struggling to trace our Native American ancestors. Here are some websites that may help you in your search.

You do not have to be related to the Blackfoot indians to research their culture. It may be _difficult_ if you are not well acquainted with the tribe members whose land you might be traipsing on to do your research, and especially if you do not spend the time to learn their customs.
They are a noble people, and it has been very difficult for what they consider "outsiders" to break into the culture enough to learn it. Cultural anthropologists can take their entire careers doing this. Howver, if you have some first-hand contact with some of your relatives in the tribe, it may be easier.
Good luck!

Without any others, you would be 1/8th Blackfoot.
However, you do not need any Blackfoot (or other tribe) to do research into the culture.
Any one who has ancestors for several generations back has some Indian blood...

I just found out that my ex aunt was part Blackfoot and her people were in the same South Dakota (Dakota Territory) area as mine- so we may be blood related after all.
A lot of hardships involving the Blackfoot when the depression arrived they were literally without food and traveled by foot to Canada and down into New Hampshire and Massachusetts
Good luck

Are you helpful approximately your dates? a great great great grandmother could take you back over a hundred years, no longer 70. My newborn's great great great grandparents have been born interior the 1820s-1830s. do you already know her call? What info do you have? Or is it purely a family participants tale? you could submit names and dates here and somebody will come alongside to look her up. Out of the a million.5 million human beings residing in WV in 1940, 22 are indexed as 'Indian', so she could be particularly basic to locate.

Of course. I have no blackfoot in me and there is nothing stopping me from researching the culture.

Anyone can research the culture, whether or not they have any Indian in them.

Yes; you'd be 1/8th blood quantum, and that's probably enough for tribal membership if you can prove the relationship.
