Each lecture has been edited and illustrated extensively with live video, old photos, newspaper headlines, graphs and charts. The result is a television series composed of twenty half-hour programs.

Montana’s Blackfeet Reservation has the feel o f a foreign country. Life there is Indian in the way life in China is Chinese. Visitors in Browning or Babb or Heart Butte quickly realize that reservation life is not readily penetrated or understood. The Reservation Blackfeet, 1882-1945 offers a privileged glimpse into the world of the reservation, not as it is today but as it evolved during the forgotten years between the end o f the buffalo and a time when nearly all the Blackfeet who knew the pre-reservation days had died. This is primarily a book of photographs, and UM history professor William Farr has assembled a remarkable selection.
