It's well-known that the city of Great Falls and surrounding area is rich in history.
The historical stories are almost endless, from Lewis and Clark to the Native Americans, who called this place home for thousands of years.
But recently, a week was organized around some of the feistiest women to ever call the Great Falls area home.
