520 |a The U. S. Forest Service has proposed oil and gas development for wildlands adjacent to the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, Glacier National Park, and the Bob Marshall wilderness. In response, traditional Blackfeet tribesmen have argued that these Badger-Two Medicine wildlands are sacred and essential to their traditional religion. In this essay, I document the Blackfeet Tradition and explore the religious significance of these wildlands. Investigating several myths germane to the Badger-Two Medicine wildlands, I conclude that the area is sacred and essential to traditional Blackfeet religion.In cautioning the planners of cities, Plato declared that particular locations possess ecological and spiritual qualities which markedly affect human character development. This ancient observation contains an essential wisdom for contemporary land use planners, as they consider an area in northwestern Montana along the eastern slopes of the continental divide, just southeast of Glacier National Park, an area known as the Badger-Two Medicine. In 1855, these wildlands were retained in reservation status via a treaty between the United States and the Blackfeet Indians. An agreement was subsequently reached between the parties ceding the Badger-Two Medicine wild-lands to the United States. In this agreement, the Blackfeet reserved rights "to go upon" these lands, to hunt and fish thereon, and to harvest timber therein for personal and domestic use. The Badger-Two Medicine later became a unit within the Lewis and Clark National Forest.
