Curly Bear Wagner, a Blackfeet Indian cultural leader and historian, conducts interpretive tours of the Blackfeet Reservation during the summer, as well as 'first nations perspective' tours of the travels of Lewis and Clark in the area. He also gives talks in Glacier National Park's 'Native America Speaks' program in the park's campgrounds and hostels several times a week throughout the summer.

Wagner's Lewis & Clark tours extend as far as the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center in Great Falls, and to Loma.
