Sun Tours is a Blackfeet Tribal business offering meaningful interpretive journeys through Glacier National Park and Blackfeet Country. Led by lifelong residents of the Blackfeet Reservation, each tour blends breathtaking scenery ...
What sets these tours apart is the indigenous perspective. The guides are Blackfeet tribal members who share their deep connection to Glacier National Park through stories, cultural insights, and personal experiences. Visitors consistently praise guides like Joseph, Lester, Roland, and Jack Gladstone for being knowledgeable, entertaining, and willing to share meaningful aspects of their heritage. The tours provide access to less-traveled routes through the reservation and help navigate popular areas like Logan Pass when vehicle access is limited. The experience seems to vary somewhat depending on which guide you get and what you're looking for. Most travelers appreciate the personal storytelling approach, though a few expected more structured commentary. Jack Gladstone, who plays guitar and sings during stops, earns both enthusiastic praise and occasional criticism for his performance-style approach. Weather can impact visibility and hiking opportunities, though guides work to make the best of conditions. The tours offer a genuinely different way to experience the park, especially for those interested in understanding the land through a Native American lens.
Excellent tour: Request "Charlie" a native blackfoot. She was insightful, witty, and alot of fun. Personable and kind. Our tour was the East side of Glacier National Park from St. Marys village to Bird Woman Falls just past Logan Pass, and everything in between. We saw a grizzly picking berries-keeping her record at 100%. Enclosed air-conditioned and heated 12 person mini van-ideal to ask questions and get a personalized firsthand perspective to learn and connect through her life stories, culture. She spoke to the history, geology, geography, climate change over the span of her life and ancestors that live and used the land, it's resources. Additionally, she spoke about the different tribes, their quarrels, U.S. interior department political implications that are still in legal limbo.
