Blackfeet Tales of Glacier National Park

A curated collection of traditional Blackfeet narratives and local reminiscences organized around specific lakes, rivers, and mountain landmarks. The pieces range from origin myths and animal and hunting tales to accounts of medicine ceremonies, ritual practices, and encounters with outsiders, all grounded in the mountain landscape. Short stories and episodic sketches emphasize cultural customs, moral lessons, and the relationship between people and natural forces. Illustrative material accompanies the text, and the arrangement by place gives a regional structure that highlights how oral tradition and communal memory are woven into particular geographic features.
