Summary

"Blackfeet Tales of Glacier National Park" by James Willard Schultz is a collection of stories that show the traditions and history of the Blackfeet people, especially how they connect with nature in Glacier National Park. Schultz starts by remembering old times with his Blackfeet family while camping in the mountains, which were important hunting grounds. The stories tell of people like Hugh Monroe, a white man who became part of the tribe and was well-liked. They also show the problems the Blackfeet faced when white settlers came and the great respect they had for nature. One story features Weasel Woman, who breaks rules to become a warrior. By mixing personal memories with old tales, the book gives readers a deep look into Native American history and culture.
