Keepers of the Land: Three Montana Families & Their Homestead Legacies The

Before There Were Parks: Yellowstone and Glacier Through Native Eyes For more than

Homestead Act of 1862 remains one of the most significant and enduring events in the westward expansion of the United States. The chance for free land and opportunity proved irresistible to many, and in the following decades, 151,600 homesteads had been claimed in Montana, the most out of any state. Keepers of the Land is about three Montana families still living and working the land their ancestors homesteaded more than a century ago. Airs Monday, 5/4 at 2am

12,000 years, the intermountain West’s native peoples have called the lands known as Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks “home.”

This program explores modern indigenous perspectives on these great wilderness areas and explores both the cultural divide that separates modern times from the not-so-distant past and recent efforts by the National Park Service and native peoples to bring these disparate visions into greater harmony. Airs Sunday, 5/17 at 10am

Love is the Journey: The Montana Logging and Ballet Company Watch the final tele-

Montana Mosaics: 20th Century People and Events: History of Montana’s Native Americans This episode details the Federal

vised performance of the Montana Logging and Ballet Company after 37 years of touring.

The Montana Logging and Ballet Company began in the mid 1970s as a typical neighborhood logging and ballet company. But soon they became what the Christian Science Monitor called “not your ordinary logging and ballet company.” Where did they go wrong? All over the country they forged a place for themselves in the world. Show after show they offered heart-warming political satire, and tender side-splitting harmonies. This program was filmed live in Helena, Montana and includes interviews and the history of the group. Airs Sunday, 5/10 at 10am, Monday, 5/11 at 2am

Evelyn Cameron: Pictures From A Worthy Life Evelyn Cameron left a life of privilege in England and found a sense of peace on the Montana prairie.

LEARN AT HOME

Greetings to all our members, I write this in early April, just in time for the May issue of The Guide to MontanaPBS to be delivered to the printer, and I’m trying to imagine what we’ll all be experiencing in a month or two. Although I can’t predict the future, one bit of reassurance I would like to offer is that MontanaPBS is here for you—our members and all our viewers across the state of Montana.

Montana’s Largest Classroom MontanaPBS is helping to pick up where in-school instruction left off. Many students, especially in rural Montana, don’t have good access to computers and high-speed internet at home. Our HD broadcast signal reaches even the most isolated areas throughout almost every part of the state.

We’ve partnered with Montana Office of Public Instruction to develop a program schedule to cover major curricular areas.

• Monday–Friday, during school hours We’ve rearranged our children’s programming, and added national PBS and locally-produced programs.

• Educational content We have made hundreds of grade appropriate activities, lessons, videos, and worksheets available to kids throughout the state.

These standards-aligned, educational materials have been approved by OPI, and are available to anyone on our website: www.montanapbs.org.

MontanaPBS has made occasional last-minute changes to our primetime schedule.

Audience favorites and news PBS has offered national news and public affairs programming, as well as some audience favorites.

7pm Thursdays We are producing a new weekly series of live informational broadcasts that include pubic officials and state experts in physical and mental health, business, and personal finance.

Your favorites Many people rely on our regular programming. I’ve tried to schedule new programming at times that will reach the intended audience when they can best use it, while retaining much of our normal schedule. For those programs that haven’t been rescheduled, I will continue to find a place in the broadcast schedule for them.

Schedule listings In the interest of providing the most useful service during this time, many schedule changes are made fairly close to air—long after this guide has been printed. Additionally, with the volume of programming changes across the country, the national listings services are having a tough time keeping up. The net result is that schedule change information isn’t reliably making it into newspapers, on-line listings, and onscreen guides. I know this can be frustrating, but I ask you to bear with us as we all work toward the end of the Covid-19.

Thanks for watching and supporting MontanaPBS, Paul Heitt-Rennie, MontanaPBS Director of Content

A rare look into the life and perspective of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as he discusses his life, legacy and legal theories.

“Justice Thomas’ life is a remarkable journey, the quintessential American success story,” said executive producer Gina Cappo Pack. “He began life in Gullah-speaking Pin Point, Georgia, suffered poverty and privation in Savannah, dealt with the vicious iniquities of segregation, and yet rose to serve on the highest court in the land.”

We have reorganized some of our day time programming so there is now dedicated blocks of time for students to watch curriculum-based programming and pair it with educational resources on PBS LearningMedia. Due to last minute changes, our digital and printed schedule may have conflicting or incorrect information.

Learn at Home is part of a new initiative to support educators and families who are learning remotely because of stay-at-home orders and school closures. We have reorganized some of our day time programming so there is now dedicated blocks of time for students to watch curriculum-based programming and pair it with educational resources on PBS LearningMedia. Due to last minute changes, our digital and printed schedule may have conflicting or incorrect information. 4 Learn more on p. 6 and 31.

LEARN AT HOME We at MontanaPBS are here for you. In these difficult times, it is comforting to have some respite; a distraction from the news that we all feel bombarded with at every moment. From learning at home to laughing along to your favorite programs, we've got you covered.

Montana’s Largest Classroom is in session! MontanaPBS is picking up where school left off by scheduling K-8 programming, Monday through Friday, during regular school hours. We will have a Social Studies block from 8:30 to 10:30am, a STEM block from noon to 2pm, and special Montana History block from 2 to 3pm.

See sidebar p. 6.

Distance learning content. MontanaPBS has made hundreds of grade-appropriate activities, lessons, videos, and worksheets available to kids throughout the state.

We’ve also provided ideas for unplugged activities for you to try while at home. www.montanapbs.org/education/distance-learning-at-home/ Curriculum-Based Programming with the WORLD Channel The WORLD Channel is also offering at-home learning opportunities for grades 6–12 weekdays from 10am–3pm. All programs in the block have associated PBS Learning Media assets.

Special note to our members. Thank you for making all of this quality programming available to your fellow Montanans right now. If you are not a member and would like to be or have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out: membership@montanapbs.org or 406-994-3437.

We are in this together.
