Introduction
————————————————
|
The Garden Coulee site, located
on the grounds of Fort Union Trading Post
National Historic Site, represents an historic
Hidasta occupation that occurred during the
1870's -1880's after the trading post was
abandoned in 1864. Even though this site is
not associated with Ft. Union, it contributes
to our understanding of land use and politics
in the northern plains during the turbulent
1870's. |
