I am still pumped over a great conference in South Dakota, from the excellent professional development to the newly created song, ―Everybody Loves a TRIO Man‖ inspired through karaoke. I am excited to announce that the ASPIRE region is once again in the black, healthy, and this is due to the sac- rifices of the two previous boards, your commitment to personal donations, ASPIRE project memberships, and the excellent fiscal responsibility of the last two conference committees. A little over two years ago you all aware that as a region we had a deficit to the tune of 60k, (I know I sigh too), but frown no more; we have 87k in the bank!

Posted: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 10:00 pm All-day MSU Open House and Conversation 9:00 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2013 Ballroom A (PRESENTATION OF COLORS AND HONOR GUARD IN MEMORY OF 9/11) Welcome to our first Open House & Conversation, a day-long opportunity to share information and seek recommendations from faculty, students, staff, alumni and friends of Montana State University. This year marks the 120th anniversary of our institution. We celebrate this landmark with some notable accomplishments in our university’s history: In a few days, we will announce the fall 2013 enrollment, which we believe will be MSU’s largest enrollment in its history. We have begun construction of a new building for the Jake Jabs College of Business and Entrepreneurship launched by Jake Jabs' gift of $25 million to his alma mater. We have just opened a beautiful state-of-the art residence hall, Gallatin Hall. There is a tremendous enthusiasm for all things Bobcat, not only on our campus, but in our community and state. I cannot help but think if back in 1893 when the Montana State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts was established, our founders’ envisioned the dynamic and respected institution that Montana State University is today. So let's pay homage to that vision by reviewing our accomplishments and projects in terms of MSU's foundational mission and the goals of our strategic plan to further our land-grant institution.

    Indian Education for All Montana State Parks Lesson Plan Medicine Rocks State Park January 2010 (Revised)

    Indian Education for All Montana State Parks Lesson Plan Medicine Rocks State Park January 2010 (revised) Title Shared Destinies: Tribal Cultural Resources and Cultural Survival Content Areas Social Studies (History, Government, Economics, Montana’s Indian Tribes, Federal Indian Policy, Current Events); Science Grade Level 11th-12th Duration 2 50-minute class periods and 1 homework assignment Overview and Objectives Long before becoming a State Park, the Medicine Rocks area held cultural and historical significance for many northern Plains tribes, including the Northern Cheyenne tribe of southeastern Montana. This region of Montana was occupied and used by tribes such as the Lakota, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara and others. Although this region was reserved for tribes in the Fort Laramie treaties of 1851 and 1868, the United States later took this land and nearby areas totaling millions of acres from the tribes when gold was discovered in the Black Hills. Nonetheless, several spiritually and culturally significant locations throughout the region (southeastern Montana, northeastern Wyoming and the western edges of the Dakotas) remain important to these tribes and are still utilized for cultural and spiritual practices by tribal members. Various forms of resource extraction, development, construction, recreation and urban expansion by non-Native entities has made access to and preservation of these sacred sites and locations difficult for tribes and sometimes tribal cultural and spiritual sites and locations have been damaged or destroyed. This lesson introduces students to one tribe’s cosmology (Northern Cheyenne) and the necessity of the preservation of cultural resources (both on and off the Northern Cheyenne reservation) for the cultural and spiritual continuity of the tribe.
