"Native people have loved her. Native people have gathered her plants and hunted her mountains and rolling plains since the beginning of time. The Blackfeet were proper suitors, for they loved her as I do, and when I am here I am Blackfeet too, mourning her loss to the U.S. government but grateful that her beauty lives on. This land made the Blackfeet — the imposing presence and powerful beauty of these mountains and plains runs deep in the rivers of their spirit. . ."
