Where Eagles Fly : Lake McDonald ~ "The Place Where They Dance" Glacier National Park

Lake McDonald in the Glacier National Park in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, was a sacred place to the ancient peoples who lived in these lands so long ago, this was a place for dancing and a place for vision quests. Since time immemorial, the First Nations Kootenai people had returned to the lake to dance and sing songs as was their tradition. Here, they received help and guidance from different spirits. 

 "For 10,000 generations, the Kootenai people danced there, and it became known as "The Place Where They Dance".  They danced in the winter, when the year was young, to the song of water, the song of chickadee, nuthatch, wren, and raven. They danced for health and wealth and for food, danced the circular trail of the seasons to come, danced songs given by spirit helpers, at the beginning." Vernon Finley ~ Kootenai

About The Project

Where Eagles Fly - The American Wilderness Expedition is my personal mission to introduce people to these amazing locations that surround us. I am piloting a bush plane while exploring and filming throughout the remote back-country areas of North America to raise awareness of the 47% of the USA and 90% of Canada that remain unpopulated wilderness.
