Later Murrayasked Tribuneeditor WilliamJames how she could meet the Indians. Only through by Joan Bishop Sister Providencia,he told her.' For more than two decades Sister ProvidenciaTolan, a sociology professor at the College of Great Falls, lobbied on behalf of America'sIndians. Initially,in the early 1950s, the plight of off-reservationChippewa-Cree groups living on Hill 57 and other areas near Great Falls triggered her drive to energize "an impressive cross-section of the Great Falls community,"many of whom "hadresorted to an ostrich-likeattitude when the local Indian problem proved too difficultto solve." During the mid-1950sSister Providenciaworked with members of the MontanaInter-tribal Policy Board, AffiliatedTribes of Northwest Indians, and the National Congress of American Indians. By the late 1960s she had also served as tribal consultant for six of Montana'sseven Indian reservations.2 Subsequently, Sister Providencia transformedthe grass roots movement she had formed into a campaign directed at Michael J. (Mike) Mansfield, Lee Metcalf, and James J. Murray,three of Montana'sDemocratic politicians in Washington, D.C.Because of seniority, committee appointments,and party stature, these three men had the power to influence federal Indian affairs. Sister Providenciaoften acted as intermediary between local activists and community leaders in Great Falls and bureaucratsand politicians in Washington, D.C.,where leaders recognized her "keen sense of political organization."In 1959 Dr. CatherineNutterville, Sister Providencia'sCollege of Great Falls mentor, wrote that "Montanain these last few years has become more aware of the plight of the Indians, thanks first of all to the work of Sister Buckskin-Sister Providencia."Rocky Boy tribal leader EdwardEagleman described her as a "fearless,and eloquent sister, and probably one of the best informed persons in the United States on the Indians'economic problem."3 SisterProvidencia Tolan and FlorenceStanding Rock of RockyBoy's Reservation(upper left) at a 1966Democratic meeting in GreatFalls, Hill 57 homes in 1986 (above) This content downloaded from 174.19.24.231 on Thu, 4 Apr 2013 12:35:05 PM All use subject to JSTOR Terms and Conditions Montana The Magazine of WesternHistory y the mid-1960s, duringthe Lyndon B.

UltimatelySister Providenciahelped prompta rethinking of federal Indian policy and contrib- uted to substantivechanges in those policies con- cerned with terminationand relocation. She be- lieved that Indianvalues and pride could only be perpetuated on the reservations. "As a sociolo- gist,"she explainedin 1958,"I must insist that the tribe,a sub-group,is a strengthand a realresource to the wider group."4 Sometimes critics viewed her as domineering and paternalistic-the Catholic sister who dic- tated what was best for the Indian population.
