2 – Welcome! Visitor’s Guide

FINDING YOUR WAY AROUND: A self-guided tour of the Magic City

Billings is the comfort zone of the West. In the Yellowstone Valley below, the city bustles with shopping, industry, art galleries, 200 restaurants, Billings Mustangs baseball, first-class live theater and entertainment, 4,000 hotel/motel rooms, horse, car and motorcycle racing, new movie theaters, performing arts theaters, museums and historic attractions. Multitudes of parks and river accesses offer outdoor fun.

Geographically, Billings is divided into the West End, Downtown and Historic District, The Heights, Lockwood, and the southside/southwest corridor.

The West End

Access the West End from the Zoo Drive I-90 Exit 443 or the City Center Exit 446. ZooMontana is just off Exit 443. See its acres of habitat filled with exceptional animal species. It opens at 10 a.m. daily. Shiloh Road, which intersects Zoo Drive, will lead you to the major West End arterials of Shiloh Road, King Avenue, Central, Broadwater, Grand, and Rimrock Road.

From Shiloh, Rimrock Road leads you to Zimmerman Trail and up to the top of the rimrocks. Turn right (east) on Highway 3 to reach the airport.

Exits 443 and 446 lead you to West End hotels, and a wide variety of shopping and dining.

Take I-90 Exit 447 to reach the Bureau of Land Management State Office, and the motels and businesses surrounding it. Exit 447 is also the access to Amend Park, Riverfront Park and the Audubon Center on South Billings Boulevard. It offers a small lake with non-motorized boating, picnicking, fishing, equestrian trails (horses not provided) and hiking. The park covers several acres and offers a perfect place to get some exercise. There is plenty of shade. No admission is charged.

Downtown

If you are coming from the west, Downtown is most easily accessed at Exit 450.

North 27th Street is the spine of Downtown, leading straight to the airport. First, Third, and Sixth Avenues North are downtown one-way arterials running west.

(First Avenue becomes a two-way at North 18th Street.) Montana Avenue, Second and Fourth Avenues North are downtown one-way arterials running East.

If you are coming from the east, Downtown and the Heights can be accessed from Exit 452. Take First Avenue to go Downtown.

The restored train depot on Montana Avenue in the Historic District, where passengers boarded in days gone by, is now a great place to tour and take pictures.

It is a neighbor to a great selection of restaurants, shops and art.

Billings Historic District buildings and businesses have been renovated and refurbished back to the bustling atmosphere of the days when the Magic City sprang from the fertile banks of the Yellowstone River. Enjoy the modern-day cobblestones, ironwork any blacksmith would be proud of, flowers and trees.

The heart of Downtown Billings is at Second Avenue North and Broadway (North 28th Street). Skypoint points to the Big Sky of Montana and offers you shade and shelter. You’ll find helpful maps and merchant lists in kiosks around town.

Billings Heights

If you are coming from the east along I-94, we recommend that you take Exit 23 at Pompeys Pillar (28 miles east of Billings). Visit the National Monument that bears Captain William Clark’s carved signature. Then proceed along Highway 312.

Stop in Worden and Huntley to discover unhurried businesses and friendly people.

Follow 312 into Billings Heights. The Heights is a geographical benchland that rises above the Yellowstone River Valley. Turn Left onto Pemberton Ln. then a left onto Like Elmo Dr. to check out the wildlife displays at the Fish, Wildlife and Parks center overlooking Lake Elmo. Return to Main Street for a wide variety of food and shopping.

Going south on Main Street in the Heights will lead you to MetraPark, the home of MontanaFair, concerts, sports shows, ag shows, trade shows, motorsports and rodeos. Pose for a picture in front of the statue of world famous Saddle Bronc Champion Dan Mortensen. It is right in front of the MetraPark arena.

REVEREND HORTON HEAT WITH IN THE WHALE

21+. Loaded guns, space heaters, and big skies. Welcome to the lethal littered landscape of Jim Heath’s imagination.

True to his high evan­gelical calling, Jim is a Revelator, both revealing & reinterpreting the country-blues-rock roots of Ameri­can music. He’s a timetravelling space-cowboy on a endless inter­stellar musical tour, and we are all the richer & “psychobillier” for get­t ing to tag along.

Seeing REVEREND HORTON HEAT live is a transformative ex­ perience. Flames come off the gui­t ars.

Heat singes your skin. There’s nothing like the primal tribal rock & roll transfiguration of a Rever­end Horton Heat show. Jim be­comes a slicked-back 1950′s rock & roll shaman channeling Screamin’ Jay Hawkins through Buddy Holly, while Jimbo incinerates the Stand-Up Bass. And then there are the “Heatettes”. Those foxy rockabilly chicks dressed in poodleskirts and cowboy boots slamming the night away. It’s like being magically transported into a Teen Exploita­t ion picture from the 1950′s that’s currently taking place in the future.

Listening to the REVEREND HOR­TON HEAT is tantamount to injecting pure musical nitrous into the hot-rod engine of your heart. The Reverend’s commandants are simple.

And no band on this, or any other, planet rocks harder, drives faster, or lives truer than the Reverend Horton Heat. These “itinerant preachers” actually practice what they preach.

They live their lives by the Gospel of Rock & Roll.

MIKE LOVE

Meet Mike Love. One of reggae music’s rising stars. Born and raised in Oahu, Hawaii to a musical family that spans generations, Mike Love brings a multitude of influences to the table, all tied together by the common goal of making the world a better place.

Which is no mean feat. On his debut album, The Change I’m Seeking, Love harkens to the legends of roots reggae in both his lyrics and his sound, but never relies on any one genre to hold him down. Coming from a wealth of influences – he started out playing classical piano as a teenager and later would perform in high school bands that were more akin to the grunge sounds of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam – Mike Love fuses the simple rhythms of classic reggae with the complex changes of the classical and rock music he was first trained on to come up with a style wholly unique to him. Mike is currently wrapping up his second album titled Love Will Find A Way. His songs take you on a journey, one of healing and inspiration. One designed to help you on your path to knowledge, wisdom and understanding.

Mike Love has shared the stage with artists like Stephen Marley, Don Carlos, Trevor Hall, Nahko & Medicine For The People, John Butler Trio, Groundation, Steel Pulse, Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson.

Pompeys Pillar Visitor Center open for the season Pompeys Pillar National Monument is excited to announce that it is open for the summer.

Hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., seven days a week. The main entrance gate will also be open during these hours of operation. Walk-ins are always welcome every day from dawn to dusk.

Daily fees are $7 per vehicle. Interagency passes are honored and can be purchased at the fee station.

Trails lead visitors past a replica of Captain Clark’s canoes and to a view of the 670 mile-long Yellowstone River.

The Friends of Pompeys Pillar, in conjunction with the Bureau of Land Management, hosts “Clark Days” on a weekend near the date each year to commemorate Captain William Clark’s visit to the site.

“The monument will be hosting a lot of exciting events this season and we really want folks from across the region to come celebrate the history and heritage of the West with us,” said Pompeys Pillar Monument Manager Dave Lefevre. “We especially want folks to put

July 30 on their calendars as this will be the date of the Monument’s Annual Clark Days Celebration.”

Riverwalk The concrete Riverwalk, representing the Yellowstone River, begins in the parking lot and meanders through the interpretative center to the base of the Pillar. Signs along the path quote from Clark’s journals and tell of the party’s experiences from their entry on the Yellowstone on July 15, 1806, to their encampment at the confluence of Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers on Aug. 3.

Communities along the Yellowstone River welcome expedition travelers to tread where Captain Clark’s party trod on the return journey in July-August 1806.

In 1806, Captain William Clark camped at the Clarks Fork Ditch Yellowstone mouth of the Clark’s Fork River where it joins the Yel- River S. Park City Rd. lowstone River.

This site eventually became known as Reiter Dr. Laurel. Dug-out canoes were made for their trip on the Yellowstone River at a site near Park City ( 7 miles west of Laurel). You can retrace the route of the Lewis and Clark Expedition through Montana — the state with more distance than any other state that was traveled through during the expedition. On their return trip, Lewis and Clark split and took separate routes while in Montana.

Nineteenth- and twentiethcentury masters join the YAM’s collection

Billings Arts Association Exhibit at McCormick Cafe Members of the Billings Arts Association have been invited to exhibit at the McCormick Café on Montana Avenue during August and September. The exhibit will begin August 3 and run through September 28. The artists of the BAA are eager to show their work in this lovely large venue. The McCormick Cafe has always shown an appreciation for the arts in its support of the work of individual artists and for the bi-monthly Art Walks.

An added feature of the exhibit is that sales of artwork will generate funding for art education charitable purposes namely the BAA’s Art Education Grant. The BAA Grants fund art education projects in our area so teachers can propose special projects which otherwise might not be affordable. An innovative proposal for art education in any venue or medium will be considered.

Contact Billings Arts Association for the grant application form. www.billingsartsassociation.org BAA is an organization of 125 artists from Billings and the surrounding areas. Art represented by the group varies considerably: photography, pottery, jewelry making, sculpting, welding, glass art as well as encaustic, sketching and painting in watercolor, oil, acrylic as well as other mediums. We gather to exchange art information and provide education to our members. You’re welcome to share comments about this exhibit which will be up thru September with the exhibit coordinator, Bill Arbizzani at 406- 259-9502 or email arbizzani@charter.net.

The Yellowstone Art Museum is pleased to announce an exclusive exhibition comprising loans of work by European master artists and works from the YAM’s permanent collection. The museum continues to attract loans of impeccable quality, giving area art lovers unique opportunities to view world-class works in relationship to regional contemporary paintings and sculptures.

Throughout recorded time, artists have used visual forms to comment on or express the relationship between humankind and the spaces we have occupied in our collective history and psychology. In this exhibition, viewers can consider the evolution of visual abstraction spanning the stretch of time from the late nineteenth century to today, from France to New York to Montana.

Selections reveal the pursuit of artistic excellence in conveying the relationship between “figure” and “ground” in a variety of distinguished attitudes towards visual abstraction. These art works range from Romantic realism to Neo-classicism to the Modernist “isms” of CubJoan Miró, “Femme” 1970 ism, Constructivism, and SurCREDIT: Successió Miró / Artrealism. The exhibition ists Rights©Society (ARS), New emphasizes the magnitude of York / ADAGP, Paris 2016 expression that exists in the visual world, exemplifying the adoration of form and content.

This remains a central tenet of the artistic community even in today’s age of artmaking that has no easily identifiable predominant “isms” of its own. The aim of the exhibition is to celebrate three centuries of artistic vision. The beholder will no doubt find abundant intersections between these works along with the obvious collisions that occur as the result of the broad human imagination that seeks to define our “primal urge” to know who we are and where we exist in the real world.

Of the exhibition, Senior Curator Bob Durden stated, “We have a unique opportunity to offer works of notable European artists alongside works of a similar nature from our own collection. The exhibition includes mature content—primarily nudes, figures in the landscape, and a rarely seen Troy Dalton painting from the museum’s collection. In this context, it will be clear that ideas about the human form are constantly evolving as artists continue to commit themselves to an examination of the nude and how we view our humanity and the environments in which we live.”

Visitors with young children may choose to preview the exhibition before guiding them through Primal Urges, which remains on view through September 4th, and view other family friendly offerings throughout the museum. So, treat yourself, family members, and friends to a trip to the Yellowstone Art Museum and witness local and global cultural artifacts on view at Your Art Museum.

Welcome! Visitor’s Guide – 17

N.-Cheyenne, Busby, Lame Deer and Ashland Loop

Tongue River in Ashland Busby Just off Highway 212 at Busby is a monument to Two Moon, a Northern Cheyenne Chief who took part in the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Convinced that he could not run from the army forever, he surrendered his band to General Miles at Fort Keogh (Miles City) and they remained there until the Tongue River Reservation was established in 1884.

The monument was built in 1936 by an Indian trader, Moncure.

In 1993 a historic reburial was held in Busby, bringing home the remains of 10 men, five women, and two children who had died about 116 years before, during the Indian Wars. The remains had been in the possession of museums at Harvard’s Peabody Museum, the National Museum of Health and Medicine and at the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum of Natural History. The remains are buried in a circle near the Two Moon Monument on Highway 212.

The “museum burials” were the result of an 1880s Army directive ordering military surgeons to collect the skeletal remains of Indians killed in battle in order to gauge the ballistic effectiveness of new Army carbines and to study Indian subcultures. A federal law was passed in 1990 that allowed the return of the bones to their homelands for burial.

Lame Deer Lame Deer is headquarters for the Northern Cheyenne Tribe and the site of the offices of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Also at Lame Deer are the Dull Knife Memorial College and Dull Knife Memorial Library. Lame Deer is the site of the Northern Cheyenne Annual 4th of July Pow Wow. Gourd dancing is

held daily, and rations and feasting are always part of the festivities.

The Northern Cheyenne Reservation extends from the Crow Reservation eastward to the Tongue River.

The Morning Star design is the official emblem of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe. For the Cheyennes, the Morning Star “lights the morning sky and shines more brightly than the other stars.” It has a different color. The Cheyennes often pray when they see this star early in the morning sky.

It has its own name in the Cheyenne language: Wohehiv.

Ashland Ashland is located on Highway 212 “The Warrior Trail.”

The St. Labre Indian School at Ashland celebrates over 129 years of education, social programs, college scholarships and much more. The Museum and Gift Shop summer hours are: Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend: Mon.-Fri., 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. After Labor Day, hours are Mon.-Fri., 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Varied weekend hours. Tours of the facility are available. The St. Labre Museum is filled with Indian artifacts from all over the country. Adjacent to the museum is a Native American gift shop.

St. Labre Founded in 1884 to serve the Northern Cheyenne Indians, St. Labre is located in the beautiful and historic Tongue River Valley, bounded by the Tongue River and the scenic Custer National Forest, filled with traces of early Indian days.

In 1883, a soldier, Private George Yoakam, stationed at Fort Keogh near Miles City, recognized the hard times experienced by the Northern Chey-

ennes. He contacted Bishop Brondel and told him of the Indian people who were roaming the Tongue River Valley without homes or land. Land was subsequently purchased by the bishop and, on March 29, 1884, St. Labre Indian School became a reality. Four Ursuline Sisters from Toledo, Ohio, responded to the bishop’s requests for priests and nuns.

St. Labre Indian School made a humble beginning with the construction of a log cabin school operated by the Sisters.

This three-room cabin served as residence, school and dormitory, as well as the church. A replica of the cabin now stands on the

site of the original mission.

Today St. Labre provides preschool to grade 12 education to Native children at three locations on the Northern Cheyenne and Crow Indian reservations.

St. Labre depends almost entirely on private donations for its many programs. Without federal or church funds, many friends all over the United States “keep the miracle alive.”

Visitors to this facility will enjoy seeing the unique teepeestyle church and Cheyenne Indian Museum with its large collection of Native American artifacts and art from the Northern Cheyenne, Crow, Sioux and several other tribes.

Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness was created from existing National Forest lands in 1978. The wilderness is partly in Gallatin, Custer and Shoshone National Forests and is composed of 944,000 acres (3,820 km2). The wilderness encompasses two distinct mountain ranges, namely the Beartooth and Absaroka ranges. These ranges are completely distinct geologically speaking with the Absarokas composed primarily of volcanic (or extrusive) and metamorphic rock, while the Beartooths are made up almost entirely of granitic rocks.

THE CROW AND NORTHERN CHEYENNE THE CROW

About 75 percent of the Crow tribe’s approximately 10,000 or more enrolled members live on or near the reservation. Eighty-five percent speak Crow as their first language.

This tribe was called “Apsaalooke,” which means “children of the largebeaked bird.” White men later misinterpreted the word as “crow.” Chief Plenty Coups was the last chief to gain that status in the traditional Crow manner. He lived until 1932, leaving his land and home as a park for all people. The Crow Reservation is in southcentral Montana, bordered

by Wyoming on the south, with its northwestern boundary about 10 miles from Billings.

For many years the vast coal deposits under the eastern portion of the reservation remained untapped.

One mine is now in operation and providing royalty income and employment to tribal members. The Crow operate only a small portion of their irrigated or dry farm acreage and about 30 percent of their grazing land. They maintain a buffalo herd of 300 head.

Attractions include The Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area features spectacular scenery, wildlife viewing, boating, fishing and camping. There are two visitor centers, one at Fort Smith and one at Yellowtail Dam. Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument/Reno-Benteen Battlefield commemorating the Sioux/Cheyenne victory over the Seventh Cavalry. The Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument features museum exhibits, an interpretive center and ranger-led programs.

Chief Plenty Coups State Park, home and grave site of the well-known Crow Chief, Plenty Coups. There is a display of Crow artifacts and history, and a scenic picnic area.

Crow Agency becomes the ‘tepee capital of the world’ in mid-August during the annual Crow Fair celebration. Cultural tours offered through Little Bighorn College, which can be reached at 406-638-3104. You may also contact the Tourism Office and Visitor Center for more information about the Crow Indian Reservation by calling 406-638-7272.

Approximately 5,000 Northern Cheyenne, along with members of other tribes and with non-Native Americans, live on the reservation.

Lame Deer is the tribal and government agency headquarters. There are four other districts that comprise the whole reservation. The rugged country of the Northern Cheyenne Reservation is in southeastern Montana. It covers 445,000 acres and is bounded on the east by the Tongue River and on the west by the Crow Reservation.

Major employers include the St. Labre Indian School, the federal government, tribal government, power companies and construction companies. The education system,

farming, ranching and small businesses contribute to the economy.

A historical buffalo jump, burial sites of Indian chiefs, Custer’s last camp before the Battle of the Little Bighorn, the Cheyenne Indian Museum and Gift Store, St. Labre Indian School and the Ashland Pow Wow are of special interest in the Ashland area.

Lame Deer is tribal headquarters and home of the Northern Cheyenne Powwow. Some features are the Northern Cheyenne Arts and Crafts Center, Charging Horse Casino and Cafe, Chief Dull Knife College Cultural Center and Lame Deer Museum. The Pow Wow and Rodeo is held the 4th of July weekend.

Memory and Identity: Apsáalooke and Hidatsa ledger art at Bair Museum This summer, the Bair Museum hosts the second exhibition and a different selection of ledger drawings from the Barstow Collection. The entire collection consists of 66 drawings by members of the Crow (Apsáalooke) and Hidatsa (Gros Ventre of the River) who were together on the Crow Agency Reservation in the 1880s and 1890s.

Elizabeth Guheen, Director and Chief Curator of the Charles M. Bair Family Museum, said the ledger drawings in this summer’s exhibition speak to a specific time in the life of Native peoples in Montana and in the United States and contain many different messages because they are communicating across time and history and through many generations.

“The Indian schools on the reservations focused on the government’s goal of “Americanizing” the Indian population on the youngest members of the tribes. Students were required to cut their hair, speak only English, and wear American clothing. Many schools

required that the children change their names to more American ones. A few of the drawings appear to be signed by the artist because they had been sent to school. In answer to the implied question, “Who are you?” the scrawled signature written in pencil “I am the Indian Boy” stands as the defining metaphor for children taken from their parents and their way of life and given a new, generic identity untethered to any memories or culture.”

Major Charles Barstow was chief clerk for the Bureau of Indian Affairs at Crow Agency from 1879 to 1897. He provided Indian warriors materials and encouraged them paint and draw. The ledger drawings mimic the function of traditional buffalo hide painting – narrative of social status, youthful adventure from capturing horses and “counting coups” to dancing and courtship. Barstow’s collection of 66 drawings was rediscovered in 1930 in Roundup and came to MSU-Billings through the efforts of Ruthann Wilbur Hines.

The Bair Museum, located in Martinsdale, is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week through Labor Day, Labor Day through October – Wednesday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

What exactly is Red Dirt Metal?

Take outlaw country, toss in a dash of Southern-fried classic rock and mix it

with some potent Texas power grooves and you’ve got a combustible sonic cocktail on your hands. Texas Hippie Coalition’s third album Peacemaker is a textbook example of Red Dirt Metal, which is the sound the band has been honing and cultivating for its entire existence.

Cattle Drives of Yesteryear A J.K. Ralston original painting, spanning the breadth of the room, is displayed above the Yellowstone County Museum’s (YCM) authentic chuckwagon exhibit. It is a true-to-life depiction of the valley’s first settlers and the gear they brought west.

Short-horned beef cattle were

trailed into the Yellowstone River valley from Idaho and Oregon by Charles Yegen in 1879. Beef cattle production became a linchpin industry in Montana Territory once rail service to Billings opened access to eastern markets.

The pilot wagon had to be driven by a seasoned guide, often old trappers, explorers, and men who had been in country and knew the trails. Behind the guide came the chuckwagon, driven by the cook. The cook worked out of a converted freight wagon built to house supplies and kitchen tools.

Behind the chuckwagon was the bed wagon, piled high with quilts and treated canvas, the forerunners of today’s camping gear. Then came the bawling, tail-twitching mass driven by outriders. A cattle drive could cover about 5 miles per day.

Native American Collection Yellowstone County Museum is the kind of museum that tells the stories of the people and places, tools, art, and triumphs and heartache of the early residents, both Native American and settlers, who populated the Yellowstone Valley. The displays are considered some of best of its kind in the state.

The museum enjoys expansive space around the building.

The patio affords a spectacular

view of the Yellowstone Valley.

The museum gift shop is full of Native American reproductions and books of Yellowstone Valley topics.

1950 Terminal Circle. Follow the roundabout through the airport and loop around. Hours are 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Learn more at yellowstonecountymuseum.org or call 406-856-6811. Free admission.

Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument is now open

Little Bighorn Battlefield is 15 miles east of Hardin. Picture, if you can, June 25, 1876, the day when over 210 troopers of the 7th Cavalry fell in battle. The thunder of hooves, war cries of the Teton Sioux and Northern Cheyenne Indians, rifle fire and death chants softly echo across the plain. This was...Custer’s Last Stand.

June 25, 2016 marked the 140th anniversary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn.

The Visitor Center displays exhibits on the battle, Indian culture, and frontier soldiers. New interpretive exhibits include “People of the Plains,” a story of the Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho people at the time of the battle in 1876. Full-size photographic cut-outs and artifacts from the battlefield collection interpret the many roles that tribal members played, including the warrior’s dual role as hunter and warrior.

“Tools of the Battle” describes the vast assortment of weapons used in the battle by the 7th Cavalry and the Native American warriors.

“Unraveling the Mystery” is an exhibit of the important archaeological surveys conducted on the battlefield and how the recovered artifacts provide an understanding of what may have happened during the battle.

Firearms analysis and forensic pathology have revealed not only individual weapon types and details of movements during the battle, but also important clues about the various equipment used by both sides.

The Memorial is open Memorial Day through Labor Day 8 a.m.-8 p.m., after Labor Day through September 8 a.m.-6 p.m., OctoberMarch 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m., and April through Memorial Day 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Daily ranger talks and movies are provided.

Hiking is permitted on a 3/4 mile interpretation trail, selfguided with brochures. There is also a self-guiding booklet for the cemetery.

The battlefield is located 61 miles south of Billings, Montana, and 65 miles north of Sheridan, Wyoming, at the junction of Interstate 90, and Montana Highway 212, I-90 Exit 510.

Little Bighorn offers a wide range of interpretive opportunities.

Self-guided walking tours are available for the battle-related sites and the national cemetery.

Rosebud Battle was a foreshadowing to the Battle of the Little Bighorn Rosebud Battle The Battle of the Rosebud symbolizes the Indians’ first stiff resistance in the Sioux War of 1876. Its outcome had an impact on Lt. Col. George A. Custer’s devastating defeat on the Little Bighorn only a week later.

The June 17, 1876, battle between the Sioux and Cheyenne Indians and General George Crook’s cavalry and infantry was

one of the largest Indian battles ever waged in the United States. It set the stage for the Indian victory eight days later when Lt. Col. George A. Custer and his immediate command were wiped out on the Little Bighorn. A selfguided tour with interpretive signs is managed by Montana State Parks.
