The site is located along the South Fork of the Teton River, approximately thirty miles west of Choteau, Montana, and was once occupied by Métis families fleeing persecution for alleged involvement in the Northwest Rebellion of 1885. The study establishes precedent for the site’s inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places and addresses the potential for the site’s designation as a Traditional Cultural Property, despite the challenges inherent in such an approach. This study contributes to both existing documentation of the Métis narrative across the state of Montana and to the ongoing discussion among historic preservation professionals concerning the viability and possible revision of National Register Bulletin 38: Guidelines for Evaluating and Documenting Traditional Cultural Properties. iv CURRICULUM VITAE NAME OF AUTHOR: Emily Anne Sakariassen GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE SCHOOLS ATTENDED: University of Oregon, Eugene University of Chester, Chester, United Kingdom University of Montana, Missoula DEGREES AWARDED: Master of Science, Interdisciplinary Studies Program: Historic Preservation, 2014, University of Oregon Bachelor of Arts, History, 2012, University of Montana Bachelor of Arts, Anthropology, 2012, University of Montana Certificate in Historic Preservation, 2012, University of Montana AREAS OF SPECIAL INTEREST: Cultural Resource Identification and Evaluation PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: Architectural History Consultant, Metcalf Archaeological Consultants, Inc., Bismarck, ND, Spring 2014.

Thanks also to Nicholas Vrooman, to members and friends from the Choteau and surrounding area community (many of whom trace their family histories to the South Fork), and to Nancy Thornton for her invaluable archive of primary-source material concerning Choteau’s Métis. I extend sincere appreciation to my committee chair, Dr. Marsha Weisiger for her patience and guidance. She has influenced the way I think and the way I write. I am also grateful to Dr. Rick Minor for the time and energy he has spent reviewing my work. He has challenged me to assert my knowledge. Thanks also to the faculty, staff, and students of the Historic Preservation Program at the University of Oregon for their many kindnesses and inspiring conversations, and to the Margaret J. Weise Endowment for supporting my endeavor. I must also express gratitude to the many friends and family members for encouraging my best efforts. Individuals from the historic preservation community also deserve acknowledgment. Among them are Amy Cole of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Amy Bleier Research Archaeologist at the State Historical Society of North Dakota, the knowledgeable staff members of the North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, and New Mexico State Historic Preservation Offices, and former Bureau of Land Management archaeologist Dave Vlcek. This body of research would not have been possible without the willingness of all of these individuals to impart their personal and professional experiences to a curious young graduate student. vi In fond memory of Ripley Hugo who introduced me to the story of this place, and for my father, Erik, who encouraged me to explore that story for myself. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I.

  • Sahnish (Arikara) Ethnobotany
    Kindscher, L. Yellow Bird, M. Yellow Bird & Sutton Yellow M. Bird, Yellow L. Kindscher, Sahnish (Arikara) Ethnobotany This book describes the traditional use of wild plants among the Arikara (Sahnish) for food, medicine, craft, and other uses. The Arikara grew corn, hunted and foraged, and traded with other tribes in the northern Great Plains. Their villages were located along the Sahnish (Arikara) Missouri River in northern South Dakota and North Dakota. Today, many of them live at Fort Berthold Reservation, North Dakota, as part of the MHA (Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara) Ethnobotany Nation. We document the use of 106 species from 31 plant families, based primarily on the work of Melvin Gilmore, who recorded Arikara ethnobotany from 1916 to 1935. Gilmore interviewed elders for their stories and accounts of traditional plant use, collected material goods, and wrote a draft manuscript, but was not able to complete it due to debilitating illness. Fortunately, his field notes, manuscripts, and papers were archived and form the core of the present volume. Gilmore’s detailed description is augmented here with historical accounts of the Arikara gleaned from the journals of Great Plains explorers—Lewis and Clark, John Bradbury, Pierre Tabeau, and others. Additional plant uses and nomenclature is based on the field notes of linguist Douglas R. Parks, who carried out detailed documentation of the Sahnish (Arikara) Ethnobotany tribe’s language from 1970–2001. Although based on these historical sources, the present volume features updated modern botanical nomenclature, contemporary spelling and interpretation of Arikara plant names, and color photographs and range maps of each species.

  • Strike Them Hard! the Baker Massacre Play by Ramona Big Head
    “STRIKE THEM HARD!” THE BAKER MASSACRE PLAY RAMONA BIG HEAD B.Ed., University of Lethbridge, 1996 A Project Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies of the University of Lethbridge in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF EDUCATION FACULTY OF EDUCATION LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA March 2009 In memory of Apaisapiaakii (Galina) iii Abstract The oral tradition of story-telling among the Blackfoot is still strong. However, in order to keep the tradition alive for future generations, educators are beginning to step outside the box to allow for innovative ways to bring the stories back to life for students. By writing a play about the 1870 Baker Massacre, and staging it with Blackfoot students from the Kainai Board of Education school system, I have successfully found another way to engage First Nation students from Kindergarten through grade 12. This is the first time the story of the Baker Massacre has been told from the perspective of Blackfoot children. A good portion of the research was taken from oral accounts of actual descendents of the survivors of the massacre. Most of the survivors were young children, including my great-great grandmother, Holy Bear Woman. The Baker Massacre became a forgotten and lost story. However, by performing this play to an audience of approximately 1000 over the course of six performances, including a debut performance in New York City, there is a good chance that this story will not fall into obscurity again. The process of researching, writing and staging this play also had a major impact on my own personal healing and well-being.
