Each summer Blackfeet, Salish, Kootenai,and Pend d'Oreille tribal members share their knowledge of the history and culture of Native America with Glacier National Park visitors as part of the Native America Speaks program. Programs are offered in campgrounds, lodges, and at St. Mary Visitor Center. This year we are expanding to include programs in Browning and Babb, MT.
All Native American interpretive programs offered at Glacier National Park are made possible through a generous donation from Glacier National Park Conservancy.
Check out the Summer 2018 schedule of programs below.
