Dancing Lady Mountain is a summit in Glacier County, Montana, in the United States and it is located within Glacier National Park.[3] Dancing Lady is derived from a Blackfoot-language name.[4] The mountain's former name of Squaw Mountain was changed due to ongoing controversy over the term "squaw".[5]
