It's on 2 just past East Glacier. Theoretically it should get traffic from 
Glacier tourists who go over Logan and then back on 2 or some other 
routing. There is a hotel and casino but not much else.

In general the French preferred to make love, not war. My grandmother was 
a Quebec convent girl (orphan) so I didn't know anything about her roots. 
My first brush with DNA testing was out of curiosity when National 
Geographic offered it. 0% Indian DNA. I don't know how accurate the 
autosomal profiles are, but no French component either. 

Even in New York State when it was under Dutch control it was mostly about 
trading instead of settling in. The Dutch and English used the Iroquois as 
proxies in the Beaver Wars with the English picking up after the Anglo-
Dutch wars.
