"Indian Tepees, Logan Pass, Glacier National Park, Montana," circa 1947
01
Artifact Overview
Numerous Indigenous tribes utilized the lands in and around Glacier National Park in northwest Montana for thousands of years. When European explorers visited the area, Blackfeet controlled the eastern prairie boundary, while Salish, Pend d'Oreille, and Kootenai inhabited the forested west side. This postcard suggests Native people's presence in the park but only through generic and stereotypical terms and images.
