"Blood 148 is a First Nations reserve in Alberta, Canada.
     


 It is inhabited by the Blood (Kainai) First Nation and was established under the provisions of Treaty 7."

"At 1,413.87 km2 (545.90 sq mi), this is the largest reserve in Canada, and the third most populous after Six Nations and Akwesasne.

 On June 12, 2019 Federal Courts ruled that, according to the Treaty Land Entitlement provisions of Treaty 7, the Blood Tribe was entitled to a reserve equal to 710 square miles in areaThe Blood Reserve Number 148 et al v Her Majesty The Queen (June 12, 2019). Text, an increase of 164.1 square miles over the existing lands"

"The Kainai Nation (or Káínawa, or Blood Tribe) is a First Nations band government in southern Alberta, Canada, with a population of 12,800 members in 2015[2], up from 11,791 in December 2013.[3]

Akáínaa translates directly to "Many Chief" (from aká - "many" and nínaa - "chief") while Káína translates directly to "Many Chief people."

 The enemy Plains Cree called the Kainai Miko-Ew - "stained with blood", i.e. "the bloodthirsty, cruel", therefore, the common English name for the tribe is the "Blood tribe."

The Kainai speak a language of the Blackfoot linguistic group; their dialect is closely related to those of the Siksika and Peigan. They are one of three nations comprising the Blackfoot Confederacy.

At the time treaties such as Treaty 7 were signed, the Kainai were situated on the Oldman, Belly, and St. Mary rivers west of Lethbridge, Alberta. The Kainai reserve Blood 148 is currently the largest in Canada with 4,570 inhabitants [4] on 1,414.03 km² and is located approximately 200 kilometres south of Calgary"
