This is a book of stories collected from the Blackfeet Tribe from the Glacier National Park written by a man who had married a Blackfeet, lived among the people from the tribe for many years, and was considered one of them. It gives many places names in Glacier, such as just who was Running Eagle or Pitamakin, familiar to all people who visited this wonderful area. These stories are captured from oral Blackfoot tradition and tell about ancient indigenous cultures, which carry their outstanding actions to our times.

“The men went back several times, and then, having all the horses that they could drive rapidly, the party struck for the mountains, and in several days’ time arrived home without the loss of a man or a horse.
“A few days after the party came into camp the medicine lodge was put up, and on the day that the warriors counted their coups, and new names were given them, an old warrior and medicine man called Weasel Woman before the people, and had her count her coup—of going twice into the enemy’s camp and taking six horses. All shouted approval of that, and then the medicine man gave her the name, Pi′-ta-mak-an, a very great one, that of a chief whose shadow had some time before gone on to the Sand Hills.
