Chief Mountain closed to non-tribal members; Forest improvements planned; St Mary canal siphons fail
Join Daily Inter Lake reporter Taylor Inman as she goes over some of this week’s biggest headlines. The Blackfeet Nation are again enforcing a decades-old closure of Chief Mountain after recent tourist activity disturbed cultural and spiritual practices there. Funding from the Great American Outdoors Act will go toward several Flathead National Forest improvements this summer, and two siphons failed this week in the St. Mary Canal, spurring concerns about the effects on local agriculture and ecology.
