Kootenai National Forest
Douglas Hill OHV Area
THE LAND
The nearest town to our project site is Rexford, with a population of only 58 residences as of the 2020 census.
The spectacular landscape of the Kootenai National Forest was shaped by continental and alpine glaciers. Valleys and their drainages were carved out and lakes were left behind.
This created the land that the early American Indians inhabited, adapting to the mountains.
The prehistory of the Forest goes back at least 8,000 years, when people moved across the landscape hunting and gathering. Through the use of geological, biological, sociological, and archaeological evidence, archaeologists have been piecing together how the natives used this land called Kootenai.
FIRST NATION WARRIORS
"Kootenai elders pass down the history of the beginning of time, which tells that the Kootenai people were created by Quilxka Nupika, the supreme being, and placed on earth to keep the Creator-Spirit’s Covenant—to guard and keep the land forever."
