Wetlands to Highlands: Fall Foggy Day & Sunburst (in explore)

            Morning Autumn fog in the tree lines with the rising sun breaking through between the bottom Selkirk peaks. 8299 - Explore Nov. 20, 2023.

The county has been working to restore the wetlands at the head of Liberty Lake, as well as in the Saltese (“Seltice”) flats, for some years. Once native animals have begun to return.

Liberty Lake was originally part of the Coeur d’Alene tribal lands. During the last half of the 19th century, the Head Chief was Chief Andrew Seltice. 

He sponsored Etienne Eduard Laliberte (aka Stephen Liberty) and his family to become white members of the Cd’A tribe, and they sold them 350 acres for a cattle ranch in 1871. Laliberte was fluent in French, English and multiple Native languages, so he acted as an agent for Chief Seltice (& later Chief Peter Wildshoe) with translation support in letters and in person with the President of the US while they negotiated with the government. 

The lake was renamed Liberty Lake in his honor.
