DescriptionThe earliest known name for this peak was Skiotah Peak, which was translated from the Salish as “Squaw’s tit.” That name was used until 1921, when it was renamed Squaw Peak to avoid vulgarity. It has recently been renamed again, as a result of the 1999 Montana legislature’s decision to remove the word squaw from geographic features. It is now Ch-paa-qn Peak, Salish for “Shining peak.”Other Name(s)Squaw PeakSkiotah PeakContributing InstitutionMontana Historical Society Library and ArchivesGeolocation[1] Elevation7805 ft.CountyMissoula County
