Chief Mountain in Glacier National Park

Glacier Park was sacred to the Native Americans. Chief Mountain, on the northeast border of the park was and still is an important vision quest and prayer ceremony site for many Plains Indian people. The first white man to see Glacier Park was probably Hugh Monroe around 1815, a Hudson's Bay Company trapper known to the Blackfeet as Rising Wolf.
