Montana's Native
Warriors
Inspired by the popular Smithsonian traveling exhibit,
Native Words, Native Warriors, curated by George Horse Capture. The
Montana Historical Society’s version illustrates Montana’s Native
American involvement in both World Wars, the Korean War, the Vietnam
War, and modern conflicts using contemporary and historic
photographs and the first-hand accounts of Montana soldiers. The
final panel seeks to honor Montana's Native American veterans by
providing access to an online memorial of names and tribal
affiliations.

Land of Many Stories
 The
People & Histories of Glacier National Park
2010 will mark the centennial of Glacier Park, and the Montana
Historical Society, in collaboration with Glacier National Park-National
Park Service, has mounted a major exhibition illuminating one of
Montana's cultural and natural wonders. The traveling exhibit -
paralleling the theme and content of the major exhibition displayed
concurrently at the Montana Historical Society - is comprised of
reproductions of historic photographs, graphics, and accompanying
interpretive text. The exhibit explores the many ways people have used
and enjoyed the area from pre-European contact to present day, and will
illustrate though much has changed over the years a great deal remains
the same for today's visitors. People still enjoy Glacier's magnificent
pristine wilderness following the same routes as those who have traveled
before. This exhibit is produced in partnership with Glacier National
Park and is made possible by the generosity of the Glacier National Park
Fund and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Foundation. |
