Message from the Governor

ou don’t have to visit many Montana art galleries or museums to realize that there is something truly inspiring going on in Montana. Maybe it has something to do with the colors of a big sky sunset or the light reflecting off a half-frozen stream, or the ideas that have time to grow over the long winter nights. But whatever the reason, as you explore the state, you will find that Montana has an incredibly rich culture and talented artistic community. You will find everything you expect from the West and much, much more. Our writers, artists, musicians, dancers and actors include those who bring their tribal traditions to their work, and others who draw their inspiration from growing up in the small towns and cities that dot Montana’s landscape. Newcomers to all that Montana’s galleries, museums, bookstores and theaters have to offer can expect to

he Montana Historical Society is celebrating its 150th Anniversary all year, and we hope you will come and celebrate with us. We were founded in 1865 by one of the first acts of the then Montana Territorial Legislature meeting in the gold boom town of Bannack. We are the oldest such institution in the West and proud of it. Montanans have always known that this is a special land with important stories to tell. Last year we celebrated the 100th Anniversary of Montana’s legendary cowboy artist Charles M. Russell. We improved the Mackay Gallery of C.M. Russell art and included more of his famous illustrated letters and sculpture. We have one of the best collections of Russell art in the world, including many of his oil masterpieces including “When the Land Belonged to God.” We also provide free tours of the State Capitol and the fine artwork there. Last

year we celebrated the 100th Anniversary of Montana women earning the right to vote – six years before it was passed nationally. We have two new murals in the Capitol that for the first time in the People’s House celebrate the role of women in Montana history. We are proud of that as well. Our museum exhibits are world class, and a must-see for anyone who wants to understand what has happened on this land over the past 13,000 years. We work with and support all of Montana’s museums and galleries and urge you to attend as many of them as you can. There are many stories under The Big Sky, and we will help you find your way to those you want to experience. We have been here for 150 years, and we know how to celebrate all that is Montana. We are located in Helena just east of the State Capitol. Come join us.

Good Reading for Montana at 150

any of Montana’s most important books come to digital life on the Montana Authors Project at Humanities Montana’s website (humanitiesmontana.org). The site shows the close connection between Montana writing and place. M.A.P. is a perfect vehicle for sparking community and classroom discussions. Here are five memorable stories we added to M.A.P. during the 150th anniversary of Montana Territory in 2014 – look for new titles in 2015: Published in 1947, The Big Sky was A. B. Guthrie’s attempt to portray a truer version of the west than had been written up to that point—starting with Boone Caudill, the story’s violent and alienated

anti-hero. Guthrie may have aimed to de-romanticize life in the West but over 60 years later the title of his best known work has been used for tourism campaigns, and is plastered on ski resorts, microbreweries, and hundreds of other businesses across Montana. Born in Bedford, Indiana in 1901, Alfred Bertram Guthrie Jr. spent much of his childhood in Montana and earned a degree in journalism from The University of Montana in 1923. After retiring from the newspaper business in 1950 Guthrie spent the next forty years in Choteau, Montana until his death in 1991. Fools Crow tells the story of a young Pikuni man coming of age

We provide speakers in schools, libraries, museums, and cultural organizations; community conversations; and grants for free, public humanities programs.

Montana’s Cultural Treasures 2015

Tough Trip through Paradise, 1878-1879 narrates what happened when Andrew Garcia established a trading company centered on the Musselshell River. Garcia spent the next nine years living the life of an Indian. The emotional highlight of his memoir is his return to the Big Hole Battlefield with In-who-lise, his Nez Perce wife, who was wounded during the battle and lost her sister and father. Garcia was born in El Paso, Texas, on September 13, 1855. He first came to Montana at the age of 13 to help his uncle run a herd of pack mules. He returned to Montana Territory in 1876 to work as a civilian packer and herder for the Seventh Cavalry.

against the backdrop of increasing conflict with white Americans. While Fools Crow grows in stature as a warrior and medicine man, the Pikuni face threats from the U.S. military, smallpox, and internal divisions over how to treat the invaders. The novel culminates with the massacre on the Marias (Bear) River in 1870, yet it concludes with belief in the power of stories to sustain a people in the face of such violence. James Welch was born in 1940 in Browning. He was Blackfeet on his father’s side and Gros Ventre on his mother’s. He received the Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters from France and the Native Writers’ Circle’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

Ivan Doig’s 1978 memoir This House of Sky: Landscapes of a Western Mind depicts the author’s hardscrabble childhood on ranches and in small towns along the Rocky Mountain Front. A quiet, observant boy, he deciphers the world through his encounters with sheepherders, denizens of small-town saloons and valley ranch workers, and comes of age in one of the last remnants of America’s Old West. Contemplative, melancholy and beautifully written, This House of Sky was a finalist for the National Book Award. Known for his historically grounded storytelling as well as his lush, lyrical style, Doig has written, “I don’t think of myself as a ‘Western’ writer. To me, language – the substance on the page, that poetry under the prose – is the ultimate ‘region,’ the true home, for a writer.”

First published in 1991, All But the Waltz: A Memoir of Five Generations in the Life of a Montana Family is comprised of 11 virtuosic essays about hardship, death and survival on the rugged plains of central Montana. Mary Clearman Blew grew up on the site of her great-grandfather’s 1882 homestead, along the headwaters of the Judith River north of Lewistown, Montana. Blew has said of her memoir, “All But the Waltz was written after I had left Montana for Idaho and was looking back at the events, historical and familial, that had colored my life: my father’s death, my husband’s illness and death, and turmoil at what then was Northern Montana College, where I had worked for many years. A working title for the book was Leaving Montana.” Ken Egan Executive Director Humanities Montana
