  • Rocky Boy's Reservation Timeline
    Rocky Boy’s Reservation Timeline Chippewa and Cree Tribes March 2017 The Montana Tribal Histories Reservation Timelines are collections of significant events as referenced by tribal representatives, in existing texts, and in the Montana tribal colleges’ history projects. While not all-encompassing, they serve as instructional tools that accompany the text of both the history projects and the Montana Tribal Histories: Educators Resource Guide. The largest and oldest histories of Montana Tribes are still very much oral histories and remain in the collective memories of individuals. Some of that history has been lost, but much remains vibrant within community stories and narratives that have yet to be documented. Time Immemorial – “This is an old, old story about the Crees (Ne-I-yah-wahk). A long time ago the Indians came from far back east (Sah-kahs-te-nok)… The Indians came from the East not from the West (Pah-ki-si-mo- tahk). This wasn’t very fast. I don’t know how many years it took for the Indians to move West.” (Joe Small, Government. Ethnic Heritage Studies Program: Plains Indians, Cheyenne-Cree-Crow-Lakota Sioux. Bozeman, MT: Center for Bilingual/Multicultural Education, College of Education, Montana State University, 1982. P. 4) 1851 – Treaty with the Red Lake and Pembina Chippewa included a land session on both sides of the Red River. 1855 – Treaty negotiated with the Mississippi, Pillager, and Lake Winnibigoshish bands of Chippewa Indians. The Tribes ceded a portion of their aboriginal lands in the Territory of Minnesota and reserved lands for each tribe. The treaty contained a provision for allotment and annuities.

  • Frank Bird Linderman, Author (1869-1938)
    Frank Bird Linderman 1869 - 1938 “Sign-Talker with a Straight Tongue” FRANK BIRD LINDERMAN (1869 – 1938) carved a notable niche in Western literature by recording faithfully Plains Indian tales, legends, and customs. And, in the end, he succeeded as a writer because “he was Doer before he was a Teller.” LINDERMAN WAS BORN on September 25, 1869 in Cleveland, Ohio but moved to Montana’s Flathead Valley when he was only 16. After enjoying a variety of careers – including trapper, cowhand, assayer, newspaper editor and politician – Linderman, with his wife and three daughters, moved to the west shore of Flathead Lake in 1917. There he devoted his full attention to writing. Before his death in 1938, he published 5 volumes of traditional Native American lore, 2 trapper novels, 2 recorded Indian biographies, one volume of poetry, a juvenile nature tale, and numerous periodical pieces. LINDERMAN HAD BEEN a friend of Montana’s Native American people since his earliest days in the state (even playing an instrumental role in the establishment of Rocky Boy’s Reservation for the Chippewa and Cree in 1916). In his writing about these peoples, Linderman proved to be a perfectionist. He diligently interviewed tribal elders, and always checked his interpreter’s translation through his expert use of sign language. Frank Linderman may have begun as an amateur ethnographer, but his publications exhibit a writer of immense integrity, clarity, and humility – an absolutely trustworthy observer and recorder, a “creative listener.” THE “SIGN-TALKER WITH A STRAIGHT TONGUE” was adopted into the Blackfeet, the Cree, and the Crow tribes.

  • Chapter 15 Review
    FIGURE 15.1: Detail from Montana: A Buried History, by James Todd, 1976 READ TO FIND OUT: n How industrialization affected the way people lived and worked n What problems industrialization caused in Montana n What made people demand change n Which changes helped—and which did not work at all The Big Picture Industrialization gave big companies control over life and politics in many ways. During the Progressive Era, people worked together to limit the control corporations had and to solve problems in their society. If you could change society for the better, what would you want to change? How would you go about working for that change? At the dawn of the twentieth century, people across the country saw many problems in their society. They saw poverty and disease. They saw people working in unsafe conditions just to make a living. They saw families crowded in slums with bad water, rats, bugs, and other threats to public health. They also saw political and economic power concentrated in the hands of a very few wealthy men. They realized these problems dragged all of society down. They wanted healthier cities and safer working conditions. They believed that America’s democracy would work better if citizens had more political power. So they worked for political, social, and economic change. This period became known as the Progressive Era. Progressivism started at the local level as people organized to work for change. They got involved with their church groups, civic clubs, labor unions (organizations of employees that bargain with employers), and women’s clubs.

  • Breaking Barriers in Women's History
    The First Lady to Claim a Seat in U.S. Congress: Breaking Barriers in Women’s History DeShea Vang Junior Division Historical Paper Paper Length: 2,026 Tulsi Gabbard, Elizabeth Warren, Marianne Williamson, Amy Klobuchar: all examples of women running for president in the upcoming election of 2020. Any precedent of women running for positions in government displays how much we have developed from the past, but why did a barrier exist for women that did not exist for men, and who was the first woman to break that barrier? More significantly, who was the first woman to run for power in government and succeed in doing so? Jeannette Rankin; a name that may not be recognized as often as it should, but a strong name that holds a great deal of fortitude. Jeannette Rankin was the first woman to claim dominance over a seat in the United States Federal Congress, leaving an outstanding mark on Women’s Suffrage, and breaking multiple barriers along her way. Jeannette Rankin was the first woman to be elected into Federal Congress in 1917. While in Congress, she left a remarkable imprint on her votes against the two World Wars; even though at the time the World Wars were greatly supported, Rankin showed gallantry by voting against both of the wars with controversial messages. While her service in Congress was an outstanding time in history, Jeannette led movements to fight for rights outside of her political life as well. Before Jeannette Rankin was ever elected into Congress, women had not been seen in the United States Government.
