As you journey into this sacred wilderness, learn from archaeologist, artist, and educator, Tim Ryan, a tribal member of the Salish and Kootenai Tribes of Montana.

You will participate in Native American activities including:
· Artifact making with native plants, stone, bone, and hide

Bring your personal items and fishing license. Exceptional hearty and nutritious meals will be prepared fresh daily with strict sanitary food handling to avoid germ contamination and spoilage.
