Sinopah
This iconic pyramidal Glacier Park peak is named after a local native american woman.
"Sinopah was born in the Montana Territory and was part of the Blackfeet Confederacy. Her father was Pikuni Chief Lone Walker (Ni-to-wa-wa-ka). In 1920 she married Hugh "Rising Wolf" Monroe, a white trapper and interpreter who became part of the Blackfeet tribe. During their marriage they were trappers and hunters in multiple places including the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, Fort Benton, Montana, and the area around Glacier National Park. Differing accounts list the couple as having between seven and ten children. Mountains named for her father (Lone Walker Mountain) and husband (Rising Wolf Mountain) are on either side of the mountain named in her honor in Glacier National Park." Wikipedia
