| Summary | "Blackfeet Tales of Glacier National Park" by James Willard Schultz is a collection of Indigenous stories and legends, likely written in the early 20th century. This work captures the cultural heritage, traditions, and historical experiences of the Blackfeet people as they interact with their environment, specifically within Glacier National Park. The tales draw upon elements of history, mythology, and natural beauty, showcasing the rich narrative tradition of the Blackfeet. At the start of the book, Schultz reintroduces himself to his Blackfeet relatives as he camps along the mountain trails that were historically significant for hunting. He reflects on the enduring connection between the Blackfeet and the land, recounting significant figures from the past, such as Hugh Monroe, a white man who integrated into the tribe and became respected among them. The opening stories highlight both the struggles against encroaching white settlers and the reverence for the natural world, illustrated through the character of Weasel Woman, who defies societal norms to become a warrior. The blend of personal memories and traditional tales sets a poignant tone that invites readers to explore a complex perspective on Native American history and culture.
