DescriptionIn 1841, the Jesuits established the St. Mary’s Mission in the Bitterroot Valley to serve the Salish people, but by 1891 the Salish there had been forced to move to the Flathead Indian Reservation to the north. This peak to the east of St. Ignatius was named for the mission in the Bitterroot Valley.
