A visit to our old-time store is a trip back in history. Beads, face paint, deer & moose hides, dance bells, real sinew, & porcupine hair roaches (headdresses) are among the authentic goods found at Four Winds, the oldest continuously operated trading post in Montana! The original log store was built in 1870 by Duncan McDonald & moved from nearby Ravalli to it's present location by Preston Miller almost 40 years ago. Find old & new books here about local Indian history as well as about Duncan & his father, Angus, famous local Hudson's Bay trader who built nearby Fort Connah. Today, many of their relatives still trade in our store. Other Indian customers include Flathead, Kutenai, Pend Oreille, Blackfeet, Rocky Boy Cree, Shoshone & Canadian tribes ie; Cree, Blackfoot & Sarsi. Your purchases help us encourage & preserve their traditional arts & crafts. Come visit us & our spectacular view of the Mission Range of the Rocky Mountains. The Indians call it the "Backbone of the World".
