A small community of Metis settled here in the South Fork of the Teton Canyon in the late 19th century. Many had immigrated from the Red River Valley of Manitoba, Canada. They built cabins and raised families here in a secluded valley. Family gatherings featured fiddle music and jig dancing.
The first internment was in 1890. Many graves are unmarked. The upkeep of the cemetery is by local relatives. The addition of new internments is controlled. Access is by a short hike through private land.
