Fraught’s Blackfeet Trading Post

The encounter between the Lewis and Clark Expedition and the Blackfeet Tribe (Niitsitapi) is one of the most significant in the history of the Corps of Discovery’s journey (1804–1806). The Blackfeet’s relationship with British and Canadian fur traders shaped their response to Lewis and Clark.

Faught’s Blackfeet Trading Post is a hidden gem in Browning, Montana just 10 miles East of Glacier National Park. Named after the Blackfeet Tribe and the Blackfeet Indian Reservation it resides on.
