My Indian name is Berry Carrier, my given name is Luke Whiteman. I am a Blackfeet/Blood currently living in Calgary, Alberta. I have been dancing about 30 years in the Men’s Fancy Feather Dance, traveling throughout Canada and United States competing on different Reserves and Reservations. I had the opportunity to perform at a variety of schools and functions in Calgary.
