The discharge is estimated to have been approximately 63,000 gallons (about 1,500 barrels) of oil. The discharge occurred during a high-flow event, with oil affecting approximately 85 river miles and associated floodplain. The discharge, along with associated response activities, adversely affected natural resources within the jurisdictions of the United States and the State of Montana, the Yellowstone River and adjoining shorelines, including, but not limited to, the floodplain, shoreline, wetlands and other riparian areas, islands, fields, pastures, bottomlands, grasslands and shrublands. This final Programmatic Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment for the ExxonMobil Pipeline Company July 1, 2011 Yellowstone River Oil Spill (restoration plan) has been prepared by the State of Montana and the U.S. Department of the Interior, collectively acting as Trustees for the restoration of natural resources and public use services that were exposed and/or injured by the Yellowstone River oil spill.

    Great Falls Montana Tourism Marketing Strategy

    Great Falls Montana Tourism Marketing Strategy April 2017 Executive Summary Great Falls Montana Tourism has begun an ambitious initiative to attract more visitors to the City of Great Falls, supporting its growth and bolstering its economy. Successful tourism attraction will depend on the highly-targeted engagement of Great Falls’ audience groups – people looking for a vacation or meeting experience centered around the assets Great Falls has to offer. Great Falls Montana Tourism has engaged Atlas to develop a comprehensive tourism marketing strategy for the city to guide tourism attraction tactics and campaigns for maximum impact. To develop an effective strategy, Atlas has: • Assessed Great Falls’ tourism strengths and weaknesses, and the opportunities and threats, to growing the tourism economy, along with an analysis of in-state and regional competing communities • Performed a national survey of professional meeting planners to gauge the perception of Great Falls as a meeting destination, including respondents that have actively planned meetings in Great Falls and those who have not • Researched Great Falls’ online reputation on popular travel websites, including TripAdvisor, Yelp, Google Maps, and Facebook • Interviewed Great Falls Montana Tourism leadership and reviewed the previous, internally-developed marketing plan and tourism brand package and its supporting research developed by North Star Destination Strategies From this foundation of analysis and research, Atlas developed the positioning statement for Great Falls as a tourism
  • The Symbolic Role of Animals in the Plains Indian Sun Dance Elizabeth

    The Symbolic Role of Animals in the Plains Indian Sun Dance Elizabeth

    17 The Symbolic Role of Animals in the Plains Indian Sun Dance 1 Elizabeth Atwood Lawrence TUFTS UNIVERSITY For many tribes of Plains Indians whose bison-hunting culture flourished during the 18th and 19th centuries, the sun dance was the major communal religious ceremony. Generally held in late spring or early summer, the rite celebrates renewal-the spiritual rebirth of participants and their relatives as well as the regeneration of the living earth with all its components. The sun dance reflects relationships with nature that are characteristic of the Plains ethos, and includes symbolic representations of various animal species, particularly the eagle and the buffalo, that once played vital roles in the lives of the people and are still endowed with sacredness and special powers. The ritual, involving sacrifice and supplication to insure harmony between all living beings, continues to be practiced by many contemporary native Americans. For many tribes of Plains Indians whose buffalo-hunting culture flowered during the 18th and 19th centuries, the sun dance was the major communal religious ceremony. Although details of the event differed in various groups, certain elements were common to most tribal traditions. Generally, the annual ceremony was held in late spring or early summer when people from different bands gathered together again following the dispersal that customarily took place in winter. The sun dance, a ritual of sacrifice performed by virtually all of the High Plains peoples, has been described among the Arapaho, Arikara, Assiniboin, Bannock, Blackfeet, Blood, Cheyenne, Plains Cree, Crow, Gros Ventre, Hidatsa, Kiowa, Mandans, Ojibway, Omaha, Ponca, Sarsi, Shoshone, Sioux (Dakota), and Ute (Spier, 1921, p.

    The Pain Experience of Traditional Crow Indian by Norma Kay

    The pain experience of traditional Crow Indian by Norma Kay Krumwiede A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Nursing Montana State University © Copyright by Norma Kay Krumwiede (1996) Abstract: The purpose of this qualitative research study was to explore the pain experience of the traditional Crow Indian people. An understanding of the Crow people's experience of pain is crucial in order to provide quality nursing care to members of this population. As nurse researchers gain understanding of these cultural gaps and report their findings, clinically based nurses will be better equipped to serve and meet the unique needs of the traditional Crow Indian. Ethnographic interviews were conducted with 15 traditional Crow Indians currently living on the reservation in southeastern Montana. The informants identified themselves as traditional utilizing Milligan's (1981) typology. Collection of data occurred through (a) spontaneous interviews, (b) observations, (c) written stories, (d) historical landmarks, and (e) field notes. Spradley's (1979) taxonomic analysis method was used to condense the large amount of data into a taxonomy of concepts. The taxonomy of Crow pain evolved into two indigenous categories of “Good Hurt” and “Bad Hurt”. The Crow view “good hurt” as being embedded in natural life events and ceremonies, rituals and healing. The Crow experience "bad hurt” as emanating from two sources: loss and hardship. The Crow believe that every person will experience both “good hurt” and “bad hurt” sometime during their lifetime. The Crow gain knowledge, wisdom and status as they experience, live through, and learn from painful events throughout their lifetime.

    Native Americans, the Earliest Interpreters: What Is Known About Their Legends and Stories of Yellowstone National Park and the Complexities of Interpreting Them

    Lee H. Whittlesey Native Americans, the Earliest Interpreters: What is Known About Their Legends and Stories of Yellowstone National Park and the Complexities of Interpreting Them The thermal wonders of the Park did not frighten the native peoples of the region. Euro-Americans originated this idea and it must be dispelled before we can understand the true nature of Yellowstone’s human past. —Joseph Weixelman, “The Power to Evoke Wonder” (1992) hat did the Indians say about Yellowstone? They must have told stories about its strange wonders, but what were those stories? His- torians have long wondered. Answers have been slow to appear. WNative Americans probably had many more tales, legends, and myths about the Yellowstone country than the few we currently know of, but thanks to Peter Nabokov and Larry Loendorf, we now know more than ever before about some of those early Yellowstone stories. Prior to the emergence of their manuscript American Indians and Yellowstone National Park: A Documentary Overview, his- torians trusted only one Indian legend relating to Yellowstone; that is, they knew of only one that appeared to be genuinely Indian rather than “white” (the Ralph Dixey story discussed below). Moreover, before the Nabokov book appeared, only small, unsatisfying tidbits of Yellowstone information were known to us in general about the Sheepeaters, Shoshones, Crows, Bannocks, Blackfeet, Flat- heads, Kiowas, Arapahoes, Nez Perce, Assinboines, Northern Cheyennes, Gros Ventres, Sioux, and other tribes who inhabited the upper Yellowstone country and its edges at various times prior to 1870. But now, because of that book, we know more than ever before about how these tribes related to Yellowstone.

Thank you for pushing me when I thought I couldn’t go on. Holly, who was always there to commiserate and who had an uncanny ability to know when I was procrastinating. My friends in Montana, who introduced me to Crow culture and showed me so much kindness and generosity while we worked together: Wendy Red Star, Kaneeta Red Star Harris, Virgil Buffalo, Bernadette Smith, Doug Habermann, Michael Hunsaker, Michael Norton, Ruth Ferris, Miriam Smith, Angela Russell, Jonathan and Raylene Pretty On Top, Tim Bernardis, and Jon Ille. And those friends I haven’t even met in person, but who have provided me invaluable information about the collection, Aaron Kind and Chris Dantic. I would’ve been lost without you! And of course, Dr. Van West and Dr. Ashley Riley Sousa, who both provided guidance, wisdom, and boundless amounts of patience. I feel incredibly honored to have worked with both of you over the past four years, and am more grateful to you than you could possibly know. ii ABSTRACT Alaxchiiaahush, Plenty Coups, was the final chief of the Crow people. His spiritual vision quest as a young man showed him that cooperation with the coming White settlers was the only way to survive, and he led the Crow people through the assimilation of the reservation period.

    Rosebud and Wolf Mountains Battlefields Under Siege

    ROSEBUD AND WOLF MOUNTAINS BATTLEFIELDS UNDER SIEGE A Case Study in Threats to the Spirit of Place CHERE JIUSTO Montana Preservation Alliance 120 Reeder’s Alley Helena, Montana, U.S.A. 59601 [email protected] AND LYNDA B. MOSS Foundation for Community Vitality 611 N 31st Street Billings, Montana, U.S.A. 59101 [email protected] Abstract. This paper discusses the deeply seated spirit of battlefields and places of conflict, the need to recognize various cultural perspectives at such places, and the grave threats posed to sites of high cultural value by global energy development. Using Montana’s Rosebud and Wolf Mountains Battlefields, two pristine but threatened sites, and pending United States National Historic Landmarks, as case studies, the authors will address the complex challenges and strategies for preserving such places. No sites embody a more conflicted spirit of place than battlefields, where heroic sacrifice and tragic human failures resonate across time. The spirit of conflicted places has layered meaning, reflecting different significance for people of divergent cultural perspectives. Thus, when a site represents the experience of several culture groups, seeking to preserve the spirit is a nuanced assignment. To truly preserve the spirit of such places, it is important to consult people from all sides of the story, and to seek broad understanding and definition of the values of place. And ultimately, in seeking consensus, there must also be a true willingness to save, rather than develop, the cultural landscape. 2 CHERE JIUSTO AND LYNDA B. MOSS 1. Territorial Conflict on the Northern Plains Eastern Montana falls within a geographic region known as the Northern Plains, a large grasslands environment that until the late 1800s was home to vast herds of buffalo and native equestrian cultures.
