People before the Park

The Kootenai and Blackfeet Before Glacier National Park

That we know far more about the lifestyles and spirituality of the ancient Greeks and Romans than we do native Americans living just two hundred years ago is all the more depressing when a project like this comes along to point out what a trove of wisdom we’ve been missing about this land of ours and how to live finely in tune with nature. With hundreds of quotes and passages from living elders and the deft writing of a PhD in anthropology who has spent more than thirty years working with Rocky Mountain-based tribes, this is the story of great Americans.
