Historic Lamp Shades at Lake McDonald Lodge[edit]

The Ornate Indian Chandeliers in the lobby and dining room of Lake McDonald Lodge were crafted in 1927 by members of the Blood Indian tribe of Alberta, Canada.

The lamp shades hung in the Prince of Wales Hotel in Waterton National Park in Canada until moved to Lake McDonald Lodge in 1960, while both hotels underwent remodeling.

By 1982, the original lamp shades, made from buffalo hide, were showing signs of deterioration and were in need of repair. Local Montana artist, Kay Storms, was commissioned to reproduce the shades using the original framework.

The reproductions, which took nine months to make, were hand sewn and painted on parchment paper. During those nine months, Ms. Storms worked vigorously on the lamp shades. As she recently reported to us [front desk associates on a visit in 2007], she told every visiting friend to "pick up a needle" and help with her project.

The lamp shades on display today are identical to the originals, preserving the stories from the lives of the Blood Indians during the early 1900's. By showcasing these works, we [Glacier Park Inc.] hope to save a piece of a proud and vanishing culture.
