ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 
I would like to offer my appreciation to the various institutions 
which made this study possible: the University of Montana 
Department of Botany, the University of Montana Native Stu- 
dies Program, and the various organizations of the confederated 
Salish and Kootenai Tribes which encouraged this study. 
Most importantly, history will appreciate the contributions 
made by various Flathead Indians. Pete Beaverhead, probably 
the most respected medicine man on the reservation, provided a 
great deal of wholly new information. Other informants included: 
Bob and Sophie Adams, Larry Parker, Annie Pierre, John Pilko, 
Mitch Small Salmon, and Christine Woodcock.
