| Priest Butte, Montana |
Priest Butte near Choteau on the Choteau-Fairfield highway is topped with three crosses and named for the three Jesuits Fr. A. Hoecken and Imoda and Br. Magri— who founded a Jesuit Mission among the Blackfeet Tribe in 1859. The Jesuits focused on learning the language and religious conversion. The mission moved outside of Cascade after a hostile reaction from Native Americans.
