Message from the

M

ontana is a state overflowing with culture, history, and the arts. Montana’s Cultural Treasures is a comprehensive guide to our museums, art studios, performing arts centers and cultural organizations.

The centers, shops and organizations listed in this book tell an amazing story of our rich history, including the First Montanans who’ve been here for thousands of years, the miners in our mining camps, and the homesteaders that left everything for the chance to come to Montana.

Montana is also blessed to have a thriving arts community that is very much alive in every corner of our state. We have some of the world’s finest artists and performers living and working right here under the Big Sky. I hope you thoroughly enjoy your time experiencing all that our state has to offer. We are a unique state. Our history, cultural treasures and art communities are unmatched by any other. Please remember to invite your out-of-state friends and family to share in the riches of the Treasure State.

— Governor Brian Schweitzer

2009-2010 Montana’s Cultural Treasures

Literary Treasures

A

nameless narrator discovers his connection to Blackfeet ancestors. A Spanish American guide helps track down Chief Joseph’s people in the Bears Paw Mountains, then marries a Nez Perce woman.

A gifted teacher works with her pupils in a one-room schoolhouse during World War II, suffering a series of traumas that lead to her growing up. A pained lyric voice describes epiphanies spiritual and emotional in the smalltown bars of Montana.

These are some of the many characters we meet in Montana literature, an astonishing archive of engaging writing, daunting challenges, and haunting insights. Whether it’s James Welch’s Winter in the Blood, Andrew Garcia’s Tough Trip through Paradise, Mildred Walker’s Winter Wheat, or Richard Hugo’s Collected Poems, these works immerse us in the lives, the experiences, the small victories of Montana’s diverse peoples.

Literature in the state has been remarkable from the start, as evidenced by native stories available in The Last Best Place: A Montana Anthology and the personal narratives of Plenty-coups, Pretty Shield, and Lame Deer.

We also have access to early accounts of white settlement, including Granville Stuart’s Forty Years on the Frontier , Nannie Alderson’s A Bride Goes West, and “Teddy Blue” Abbott’s We Pointed Them North. Making a living was never easy for our ancestors, yet writers show how humor, innovation, and grit yield a sustaining life.

Second- and third-generation Montanans have extended this legacy of place-bound writing, translating founding tales into a modernist and postmodernist literature of distinction. A.B. Guthrie Jr. calls into question the hunger, the ambition of American culture in The Big Sky and later novels. D’Arcy McNickle dramatizes the lives of mixed-race and native characters in The Surrounded and Wind from an Enemy Sky, showing how an in-between status can lead to tragedy. Joseph Kinsey Howard famously declares in Montana, High, Wide and

Handsome that our state has been “the cracked end of the whip” yielded by eastern financiers, politicians, and boosters. Ivan Doig has revisited many of the defining experiences of Montana history, locating characters on late-nineteenthcentury ranches, the Fort Peck Dam, and (most famously) the sheep ranges of central Montana.

And Norman Maclean shows that fly fishing can become the vehicle for meditation on matters familial and theological.

These male stories have their vital counterpart in brilliant writing by Montana’s women, whether we think of Mary Clearman Blew’s searing account of homesteading in All But the Waltz, or Deirdre McNamer’s offbeat humor and unflinching honesty in novels such as Rima in the Weeds and Red Rover, or Debra Magpie Earling’s celebration of the ultimate survivor in her Native American novel, Perma Red. And yet such a list barely does justice to the variety, the exuberance, the daring of Montana writing. We should not neglect our poets, ranging from the cowboy art of Wally McRae and Paul Zarzyski to the exquisite sensory precision and verbal craft of Greg Pape, Sandra Alcosser, Rick Newby, Tami Haaland, Melisa Kwasny, and many others. And what of those outlandish “outlanders” who have helped us resee Montana through their witty, often satirical lenses: Thomas McGuane, Jim Harrison, and Richard Ford?

Readers can discover much more about this sustaining literary tradition in the critical works of William W. Bevis (Ten Tough Trips), Rick Newby and Suzanne Hunger (Writing Montana), Ken Egan (Hope and Dread in Montana Literature), and Brady Harrison (an anthology of essays due out from the University of Nebraska Press during 2009).

Range far and wide in the literature of this place. You’ll discover many geographies of the heart, many ecologies of the spirit, many guideposts for hope in a tough, beautiful land.
