COVER ARTIST

Kevin Red Star was born on the Crow Indian Reservation in Lodge Grass, Montana. He was raised in a creative family that values art and culture. During his second year in high school in 1962, he was chosen to be the first group of students at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, NM. In 1965 Kevin was awarded a scholarship to the San Francisco Art Institute. He returned to Montana and attended Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana and Eastern Montana College (now MSU Billings).

Throughout his career, he has received major accolades and honors.

In recent years, Kevin’s biography, Kevin Red Star “Crow Indian Artist”, written by Daniel Gibson, photography by Kitty Leaken and published by Gibbs Smith, won the Multi-Cultural Non-Fiction Category of the 2015 USA Best Book Awards Kevin’s work can be found in many museum collections nationally and internationally, including The Smithsonian Institution and The National Museum of the American Indian.

Kevin Red Star is known for his historical detail depicting the tribal legacy of his Crow (Apsalooka) Native American heritage.

“Indian culture has in the past been ignored to a great extent. It is for me, as well as for many other Indian artists, a rich source of creative expression. An intertwining of my Indian culture with contemporary art expression has given me a greater insight concerning my art. I hope to accomplish something for the American Indian and at the same time achieve personal satisfaction in a creative statement through my art.”

MESSAGE FROM THE

GOVERNOR

You 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 be pleasantly surprised. And those of us who already know how vibrant our arts community is, can look forward to something new to rejuvenate our spirits.

CULTURAL TREASURES 2020

MONTANA

HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Montana’s story is shaped by the beauty and wonder of its mountains, vast prairies, and our hearty and independent communities. But even more impactful are the stories of our people and our cultural treasures that celebrate this amazing place.

You’ll find them in virtually every Montana town – museums, historic sites, galleries, cultural events and festivals.

The interaction between the landscape and the people who have called this place home completes that story and provides a vision of the past as well as the future.

We invite you to find those stories and seek your own vision of what is known as “The Last Best Place” by visiting Montana’s Museum at the Montana Historical Society across from the State Capitol in Helena.

The Montana Historical Society has been telling Montana’s stories since 1865 and honestly, we’ve gotten pretty good at it.

Our exhibits are world-class. From the major collection of artwork by Charles M. Russell (you simply must-see Russell’s masterpiece, “When The Land Belongs to God”) that memorializes Native Americans, free trappers and cowboys, to the land that Lewis and Clark passed over 200 years ago.

As you learn more about miners, foresters, homesteaders and community builders that came after, Montana’s Museum is a feast for

MONTANA

the eyes and the intellect.

If you are traveling to Montana on vacation or business, we also have a free mobile app that allows us to accompany you on your travels and share the stories and photographs of Montana. The MHS’ HistoricMT app is available on Google Play and Apple App Store for both Android and IOS devices. If you want to learn more and explore collections, visit us on the web at mhs.mt.gov.

Our talented staff at the Montana Historical Society will answer your questions, help you plan stops along your route, and guide you to Montana museums and galleries that fit your interests and schedule.

Please take the time to visit the attractions in our cities and towns. Even the smallest burg has something that will surprise and delight you.

We want to thank the Lee Newspapers of Montana for telling the stories of Montana’s history and for their support in working with of us to get this excellent publication into your hands. Let’s celebrate Montana history and our “Cultural Treasures” together.

BRUCE WHITTENBERG Director Montana Historical Society

MONTANA’S

LITERARY TREASURES

The literary scene in Montana is as limitless as her landscape, and likewise brimming with an abundance of treasured tales. Take a moment to take in what these authors have to offer.

Rudy Autio and Lisa Autio,

It Comes Around Again: A Memoir

This personal reflection by Rudy Autio spans the ceramic artist’s career from his roots in Butte, through joining the University of Montana faculty in 1957, and work with the Archie Bray Foundation. Autio’s art can be found across the city of Missoula, such as at the Missoula Fire Department Station mural on Madison and the horse sculpture in the Performing Arts Center on campus.

Philip Burnham,

Song of Dewey Beard: Last Survivor of the Little Bighorn

The compelling story of Dewey Beard spans a lifetime of fighting to reclaim his Lakota homeland while weaving around some of the most recognizable names from Western American history. The last survivor of the Battle of Little Bighorn, nephew to Crazy Horse, companion of Sitting Bull, and employee of Buffalo Bill Cody, Beard died in 1955 having witnessed first-hand the dramatic changes that encompassed the western landscape in the early twentieth-century.

Compilation,

Montana:The Lay of The Land

This collection of the best of Last Best News, an erstwhile online newspaper based in Billings, features pieces from journalists Ed Kemmick and David Crisp, as well as contributions from notable Montana writers across the state. Small-town stories and intriguing histories span this selection of some of Montana’s best treasures.

MONTANA’S

Mike Dennison,

Inside Montana Politics

As a graduate of the University of Montana’s journalism program, and journalist for almost four decades, Mike Dennison’s work as an investigative and beat reporter led him to the sources of some of Montana’s biggest political events. Covering multiple governors, senators, and corporate magnates, Dennison recounts his unique front-row seat to Montana’s political stage.

Gwen Florio, Silent Hearts

Missoula journalist Gwen Florio’s newest novel takes place in Afghanistan as two women, an American aid worker and a Pakistani translator, face tumultuous life changes after the September 11 attacks. Their paths intertwine while working amid the war, as violence escalates around them.

Dave Hall,

Moving Water: An Artist’s Reflections on Fly Fishing, Friendship and Family

This slim volume contains a hearty dose of comments on fishing and the West, all set upon Dave Hall’s peaceful landscape paintings of Montana scenery. A fine companion for a river retreat, or a cozy reading at home.

Susan Devan Harness,

Bitterroot: A Salish Memoir of Transracial Adoption

Adopted into a white family as a young Salish/Kootenai child, Susan Devan Harness was made to believe that her birth parents had died. This personal memoir details her search for home and belonging, as she navigates a lifetime of racial complexities. 2019 High Plains Book Award Winner for the Creative Nonfiction and Indigenous Writer categories.

CULTURAL TREASURES 2020

Allen Morris Jones,

facts paired with fun drawings result in a book that will delight and intrigue at any age.

Montana For Kids

A gorgeous children’s book entertains and educates with paper cutout-style illustrations that span the vivid history of the state of Montana. From Native origins, through mining booms, vigilantes, homesteaders, ranchers, Lewis and Clark, and everything else under the Big Sky.

Josh Quick,

Montana Quick Facts

Missoula artist Josh Quick has had his talented hands in a number of local projects, such as multiple traffic signal boxes as well as design work with the Missoula Public Library and the Western Montana Fair. Now, he’s released a 112-page collection of illustrations that reveal strange, but completely true, trivia about the great state of Montana. Fanciful

Loring Walawander, Montana Epiphany

In the heart of Pennsylvania’s steel and coal country, most young men in the 1960’s followed the generations before them into the mills and mines—but Loring Walawander was different. He dreamt of Montana with its open spaces, soaring mountains, and crystal clear waters. His dream stayed alive dealing with tics and twitches of undiagnosed Tourette syndrome and life threatening heart illnesses he and his college love both faced. After landing a job in Wisdom, Montana, the harsh winters & sporadic work tested his commitment.

Loring weaves the heart of Montana into the same tapestry as his personal life, both lovingly beautiful and heartbreakingly tragic.
