Historically tribes did not have symbols - they did not need them and could tell the difference between their own people and other tribes by language, hair styles, dress and details of costume decoration.
Today many tribes have developed symbols for use on the internet and tribal flags - such symbols have very little history and are often identical to symbols used by other tribes, so in that sense they are not unique to any particular tribe.
The Blackfoot are a group of three related tribes: Blood, Piegan and Blackfoot.
The Piegan or Pikuni tribe today uses the symbol of a war shield painted with a buffalo and hung with feathers; the Siksika or Blackfoot use a war shield painted with a buffalo over a pipe and tomahawk; the Blood or Kainai tribe uses a sun symbol over a camp of tipis with crossed pipes below.
These are all very modern symbols and would mean nothing to a Blackfoot warrior of, say, 1860.
