looking to the south after crossing the bridge. Not sure if Mt Henry or part of it is on the left. Appistoki on the right was named by R. T. Evans, a topographer who worked on the early map of the park. It is reported that he inquired from his Indian guide what word the Blackfeet used for "looking over something," and the guide, misunderstanding the meaning of his question, gave him the name "Appistoki," for the Indian god who looks over everything and everyone.
Place Names of Glacier National Park states that Appistoki was named a totally different name by George Schultz.
Schultz named this mountain "Iron Shirt or Miskim-asokas(i)". Iron Shirt was a warrior who went on a raid to the southwest and brought back a coat of mail.
