Where Eagles Fly : Two Medicine ~ Sacred Place for Vision Quests

To the First Nations Blackfeet, all of these mountains, rivers, plants and animals are sacred spirits who provide wisdom and guidance for living a good life. For time immemorial, these lands were considered a sacred place for Vision Quests, here is where they sought knowledge and strength from nature.

In the image above, Sinopah Mountain sits in the middle of the valley flanked by Rising Wolf Mountain on the right and Never Laughs Mountain on the left. Behind Sinopah Mountain are the sheer cliffs of Rising Bull Range and to the left of Sinopah Mountain lies Painted Tepee Peak. 

In the image below, the surface of a frigid Two Medicine Lake ripples in the afternoon wind while a storm front approaches, pushing over the towering barrier of the Rocky Mountains. On the left is Appistoki Peak while to the right, Rising Wolf Mountain is becoming cloaked in clouds and Red Mountain lays on the far right.

This is Two Medicine, one of the most revered places for the Blackfoot People, perhaps only Chief Mountain is more honored. These are truly sacred grounds.

To the First Nations Blackfeet, all of these mountains, rivers, plants, and animals are sacred spirits who provide wisdom and guidance for living a good life. For time immemorial, these lands were considered a sacred place for Vision Quests, here is where they sought knowledge and strength from nature. Wilderness is an absolute necessary component of the Vision Quest ceremony.

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.
