Located south of Ronan in the center of the Flathead Indian Reservation, home of a reservation sub-agency.  Named after Saint Ignatius of Loyalo, a Spanish priest who founded the Society of Jesus.  Now a historic landmark, Saint Ignatius Mission was once a Roman Catholic Mission, founded in 1854 by Fathers DeSmet, Hoecken, and Menestry; all of which were Jesuits.  Indians and missionaries built this beautiful landmark with local materials in 1891.
