History
6
Human occupation in this valley goes back more than ten thousand years. The first people here found the valley forested. As the climate became drier, other mountain dwellers, known to archaeologists as people of the Bitterroot culture, settled here, perhaps about 8000 years ago. These forerunners of the modern northern Shoshoni Indians lived in family bands and hunted big game such as bison and mountain sheep.
