Journey back in time to discover some of Montana’s lesser-known tales and the people who made them possible. Though often overlooked in the retelling of our state’s history, Montana’s Northern frontier is a place rich with stories and a colorful cast of characters to go along with them. From people navigating fast-changing worlds known since time-immemorial, newcomers pushing boundaries, and then setting those boundaries in stone, the diverse people that shaped Northern Montana have left a sometimes-complicated legacy, but one worth remembering today. The purpose of this presentation is to present a broad look at a span of time and place in Montana History, with the intent to spark interest and curiosity in learning more. During this presentation, we will discuss the following questions:

1. How do we define the boundaries of what we call “home”?
2. What legacies will our boundaries (personal, national, theoretical, etc.) leave those who come after us?
3. How might these boundaries change?
