People before the park : the Kootenai and Blackfeet before Glacier National Park / Sally Thompson ; Kootenai Culture Committee ; Pikunni Traditional Association.
"Step out of a world governed by clocks and calendars and into the world of the Kootenai and Blackfeet peoples. For countless years, they made their seasonal rounds in the landscape that is now Glacier National Park. In People Before the Park, the Kootenai and Blackfeet tribes share their traditions--stories and legends, foodways and hunting techniques, games and spiritual beliefs. Readers will discover a new respect for the people who were at home in these mountains, all around the seasons"-- Provided by publisher.
