Phillip "Bud" Bisnett shares his knowledge of the Old North Trail. He speculates about its existence, location, and use by North American indigenous peoples as a travois trail. Bisnett describes growing up in Dupuyer, Montana, and how he discovered the trail for himself as a kid, near his family ranch at the base of the mountains. He discusses the Blackfeet tribe's use of the trail for transporting people and goods before their land was taken by the U.S. government and they were forced onto a reservation. Bisnett speculates that the trail may have been used by the Flathead and Shoshone people during the time of Lewis and Clark. He also recalls discovering a cairn built along one of two large springs where native artifacts have been discovered in concentration. ; https://scholarworks.umt.edu/oldnorthtrail_oralhistory/1001/thumbnail.jpg
