DescriptionWhen President Theodore Roosevelt created the National Bison Range on May 23, 1908, Moiese became its entrance. The name is derived from a Salish leader who lived from 1851 to 1918. His 2 Salish names were Crane With a Ring Around His Neck and Door of the Grizzly Bear. Homesteading began around Moiese in 1910, when the Flathead Indian Reservation was opened to non-Indians.Personal NamesCrane with a Ring Around His NeckDoor of the Grizzly BearOther Name(s)MoieseContributing InstitutionMontana Historical Society Library and ArchivesGeolocation[1] Elevation2625 ft.CountyLake County
