Glacier National Park, The Crown of the Continent, was established in 1910. Located in northwest Montana, it adjoins Waterton Lakes National Park, Canada. The eastern side of the park borders the Blackfeet Nation. The Blackfeet named the region Backbone of the World. They sold the land to the US govt. in 1896 for mining purposes but they retained the rights to gather plant foods and medicines and to fish & hunt the animals. Fortunately, no gold or silver were found so the ecosystem remained fairly pristine over time. It is still sacred Indian land.
