The Lower Flathead Valley
Community Foundation is a charitable organization whose purpose is to
bring tribal and non-tribal members together to work on projects
preserving and conserving the cultural natural and human resources of the
region with special emphasis on meeting the needs of children.
As part of its mission to educate the public about the uniqueness of
the area, the Lower Flathead Valley Community Foundation
commissioned seascape artist Byron
Pickering to create a painting of Glacial Lake Missoula.
According to geologists, the lake was formed about 15,000 years ago during
the last ice age when the Clark Fork River was dammed by ice near
Sandpoint, Idaho. The water was backed up almost to the Continental
Divide on the east, through the Bitterroot
Valley to the south and as far north as Polson,
in the lower end of the Flathead
Valley.
