Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail Progress Report Winter 2016 Administrator’s Corner Dear NPNHT Supporters, I would like to begin with a heartfelt thank you for making 2015 a year of major progress for the Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail (NPNHT). With your help we enhanced our outreach and education efforts, and made advancements for heritage, stewardship, conservation preservation, and continued to share the NPNHT with a wide audience. Your support and dedication to the NPNHT is making a positive impact to preserve and protect this important National Historic Trail to make it more accessible for everyone whether they visit the Trail on the ground, visit special sites associated with the Trail, or virtually. In 2015, together we empowered many volunteers and Challenge Cost Share partners. Some of those resulted in the reopening of more than 3 miles of trail on the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest and the 2016 “Exploring the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail” marketing program for the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountain Regions which will build upon the awareness generated from the 2015 program. We added NPNHT historic sites and visitor centers Photo Service Forest U.S. on new Auto Tour brochures for Montana, Idaho, and Oregon and including the NPNHT on Sandra Broncheau- reprinted brochures for Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. To see more on our great McFarland with Smokey partners see details in side of this report. Bear. We enabled thousands of people to virtually access the trail through the NPNHT website, our photo gallery, Flickr and YouTube, and virtual Trail experiences. Now we are moving into a new year and have many exciting things planned for 2016. For instance, we are excited about the grand opening of a new traveling display we are working on with Ravalli County Museum. Additional details on this exhibit will be available in the Spring Progress Report and on our website so you will be able to learn more about how you can be involved. And of course 2016 will be filled with vibrant and engaging programs and events. We urge you to take part in all you can. This year will mark the 30th Anniversary of the establishment of the NPNHT which occurred by a Congressional Act on October 6, 1986. We invite you to join us and our partner in the celebration of the American Hiking Societies (AHS) 40th Anniversary, people of all ages are committing to Hike 40 miles, 40 trails, or 40 unique hikes between New Year's Day and AHS' birthday on October 13, 2016. Planning is also underway for events commemorating the 140th commemoration of the 1877 war and flight in 2017 and the 50th Anniversary of the National Trails System Act in 2018. The AHS Hike 40 challenge encourages everyone to get outside, to improve their health, and to experience new adventures on trails with friends and family in the New Year. Hike 40 is designed to replace the often ambiguous resolutions of 'getting fit' and 'losing weight' with a tangible and quantifiable goal for 2016," explains Gregory Miller, President of AHS. Together we can ensure these sites and the stories they hold are not lost forever. Your continued support is needed. Please help us educate people and report any sightings of potential destruction. We are grateful for your help. We look forward to all we can do together in 2016. Thank you and best wishes in the New Year! Sandra Broncheau-McFarland, Administrator, NPNHT Progress Report - Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail - Winter 2016 1 Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail Comprehensive Plan Update The revised Comprehensive Plan (CP) Chapters I and II are at the Washington Office of the U.S. Forest Service for review. The interdisciplinary team to complete the revised CP and accompanying environmental document is in the process of beginning work on the existing condition of the Trail. The team’s assessment work requires the completion of the proposed Trail centerline alignment, designated as the Right-of-Way in the National Trails System Act of 1968. The proposed alignment will be completed through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping by the end of February 2016 (image right). A review of this proposed alignment by all federal agencies, and state and local governments will begin next month and continue until completed this year. All landowners near the alignment U.S. Forest Service Image Service U.S. Forest proposal will be invited to participate in this review process. Tread Lightly! Honors Champions & Partners at 25th Anniversary Celebration The national nonprofit Tread Lightly! recognized a selection of individuals, corporations and organizations who have made significant contributions to helping the organization protect and enhance outdoor recreation access through education and stewardship during the last 25 years. “Since its inception, Tread Lightly! has become a thriving nonprofit organization with materials, programs, and services unrivaled in scope, content, and purpose,” said Lori McCullough, Tread Lightly!’s executive director. “None of our success would have been possible without the advocacy, counsel, and financial support of many, many individuals and partners. We are thrilled to officially honor a few of them this year.” The following awards were announced at Tread Lightly!’s 25th Anniversary Celebration in Washington, DC last fall: Outstanding Agency Partner Awards James Schwartz: The US Forest Service’s National Program Manager for Outdoor Ethics, James “Jamie” Schwartz, was recognized for his work as an advocate for Tread Lightly! for more than ten years. In his role as advisor to Tread Lightly! on behalf of the Forest Service, he was key in the creation of the Respected Access is Open Access campaign. Schwartz was also crucial to the development and expansion of unprecedented interagency partnerships that will help customize Tread Lightly!’s celebrated RIDE ON campaign in ten additional states in 2016. Sean Harwood: Sean Harwood, Trails, Travel Management, Dispersed Recreation Program Lead for the US Forest Service, was honored for his role in expanding Tread Lightly!’s important outdoor ethics campaigns, including Respected Access is Open Access and RIDE ON. Harwood was especially highlighted as a critical factor in the funding and facilitation of ten statewide collaboratives. Aaron Curtis: The Bureau of Land Management’s Regional Director of Recreation, Aaron Curtis, has personally advocated for Tread Lightly!’s increased involvement in each state in the West. He was also instrumental in the initiation of a soon-to- be-released campaign called Respect and Protect that will aim to address human behavior issues surrounding archeological and paleontological artifacts and sites. Raymond Suazo: Raymond Suazo, State Director of the Bureau of Land Management’s Arizona State Office, was recognized for his role in developing one of Tread Lightly!’s most successful state partnerships to date. Under Suazo’s leadership, the Respected Access is Open Access in Arizona campaign was launched in 2012 to implement education, stakeholder engagement, and stewardship activities in the Phoenix area to address impacts associated with irresponsible recreational target shooting practices. He has been key in elevating the campaign to be a national model for public-private partnerships promoting responsible use of all types of recreation on public lands. Progress Report - Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail - Winter 2016 2 Nez Perce Tribe Fisheries Department Honored for Salmon Recovery Work In October of 2015 Harvard's Honoring Nations Program recognized top Tribal Governments at National Congress of American Indian’s 72nd Annual Convention in San Diego, CA. The Nez Perce Tribe Fisheries Department was selected from 87 applicants by the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development’s Honoring Nations program. The prestigious Honoring Nations award identifies, celebrates, and shares exemplary programs in tribal governance. At the heart of Honoring Nations is the principle that tribes themselves hold the key to generating social, political, cultural, and economic prosperity, and that self-governance plays a crucial role in building and sustaining strong, healthy Indian nations. As Honoring Nations Board Chairman, Regis Pecos (Cochiti Pueblo) says, “Honoring Nations celebrates the resilience of Indian Nations in response to the challenges they face in the maintenance of the Original Instructions as our Forefathers did, in their time, defining our inheritance of a way of life.” Administered by the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development (Harvard Project) at Harvard Kennedy School, Honoring Nations is a member of a worldwide family of “governmental best practices” awards programs that share a commitment to the core idea that government L-R: Joseph Y. Oatman & can be improved through the identification and dissemination of examples of David B. Johnson effective solutions to common governmental concerns. At each stage of the selection process, applications are evaluated on the criteria of effectiveness, significance to sovereignty, cultural relevance, transferability, and sustainability. Since their inceptions in 1998, over one-quarter of all tribes in the U.S. have applied for an award; currently 124 tribal government programs have been recognized from more than 80 tribal nations. Honoring Nation’s Program Director Megan Minoka Hill (Oneida Nation WI) explains, “The Honoring Nations awardees are exemplary models of success and, by sharing their best practices, all governments – tribal and non- tribal alike – can benefit.” The Nez Perce Tribe’s Fisheries Department was one of six tribal programs awarded for excellence and innovation in governance. They were recognized with high honors. Nez Perce Tribe Fisheries Department, Nez Perce Tribe Salmon helped define what it means to be Nez Perce. Yet this precious resource has been under grave threat for generations–not only from dams and habitat destruction, but also a contentious set of legal battles around fishing rights. The Nez Perce Fisheries Department has emerged as a key ally to the salmon.

  • Early Days at Fort Snelling

    Early Days at Fort Snelling

    Library of Congress Early days at Fort Snelling. 420 EARLY DAYS AT FORT SNELLING. Previous to the organization of the Territory of Minnesota, in 1849, Fort Snelling was the only place of note beyond Prairie du Chien. For years it had been the point at which the missionary of the Cross, the man of science, the adventurous trader, made preparations for their journeys among the villages of the wandering Dakotas. Beautifully located on an elevated bluff, at the junction of the Minnesota and Mississippi, its massive walls make a strong impression on the mind of the traveler. Within its enclosure have been quartered some of the most efficient officers of the United States Army, who have received with hospitality the various scientific expeditions that have from time to time passed through the country. Its history and associations are full of interest and worthy of record in the Annals of Minnesota. On the island in front of the Fort, Pike encamped, and entered into negotiations for the site of the present Fort, as the extracts from his journal, published in a previous chapter show. In 1817, Major Long , in a report to the War Department, recommended the site for a permanent Fort. In 1819, three hundred men of the Sixth regiment, under the command of Colonel Leavenworth , left Detroit, for the purpose of commanding the Fort. They came by the way of Green Bay and Prairie du Chien. At this point a detachment was left, and the remainder ascended the Mississippi. On the 17th of September, they established a cantonment, on the South side of the Minnesota, at the present ferry.

    THE HISTORY OF WEATHER OBSERVING IN LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS, 1827-2004 Including Fort Leavenworth and West Leavenworth General Henry Leavenworth, 1783-1834 From History of Fort Leavenworth 1827-1927 Current as of January 21, 2005 Prepared by: Stephen R. Doty Information Manufacturing Corporation Rocket Center, West Virginia This report was prepared for the Midwestern Regional Climate Center under the auspices of the Climate Database Modernization Program, NOAA's National Climatic Data Center, Asheville, North Carolina Executive Summary Weather observing in the Leavenworth, Kansas, area began in 1827 when the U.S. Army established a post at Fort Leavenworth. Military surgeons recorded observations at the Post Hospital and the Military Prison Hospital until the early 1900’s. Observations were then begun at the Army Airfield in 1926 and they continued through 1996. Meanwhile, Smithsonian Institution observers were recording the weather in Leavenworth beginning in 1857. These volunteer observers were followed by the U.S. Army Signal Service and Weather Bureau observers serving through 1893. Volunteer observers again began to record Leavenworth’s weather. The U.S. Federal Penitentiary was the site of the observations beginning in 1911 continuing through 1946 when Kansas Power and Light assumed the observing role at their generating plant, a role they continued until 1961. Radio station KCLO was the site of the observations from 1961 until 1973. The site moved to the municipal water plant in 1973 where observations continued until 1988. After this time the program moved to a series of individuals, a service that continues to this day. An U.S. Army Signal Service volunteer observer recorded observations in West Leavenworth from 1883 until 1888.

Swan, MMAS Military Studies ______________________________________________ Director, Graduate Degree Philip J. Brookes, Ph. D. Program Accepted this 13th Day of December, 1999 ABSTRACT Tactical Alchemy: Heavy Division Tactical Maneuver Planning Guides and the Army’s Neglect of the Science of War. In the wake of the Cold War, the Army increasingly finds its institutional focus shifting away from preparing for sustained mechanized land combat. This trend serves the Army’s immediate operational needs and addresses its perceived need to demonstrate relevancy, but it also raises an important question. How can the Army preserve for future use its hard won expertise in combined arms mechanized warfare? The art of these operations is well documented in doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures, but the science of time, space, and combat power in heavy division operations is not. In effect, the Army is already lapsing into what J.F.C. Fuller described as “military alchemy,” denying the science of war in favor of theorizing on its art.

  • Continental Divide National Scenic Trail

    Continental Divide National Scenic Trail

    Continental Divide National Scenic Trail The Continental Divide Scenic Trail (CDNST) was established by congress under the National Trails System Act of 1968. The trail will extend 3,100 miles, in its entirety, from Canada to Mexico. This northern-most portion follows the backbone of the Rocky Mountains for 795 miles through Montana and Idaho. It passes through some of our nation's most spectacular scenery--Glacier National Park, ten national forests with wildernesses such as the Bob Marshall and Anaconda Pintler, several Bureau of Land Management Resource Areas, State lands and short segments of private lands. This segment begins at the U.S./Canada border between Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Parks, following a route near the divide and through the Blackfeet Indian Reservation to Marias Pass. Southward the trail passes through the Bob Marshall and Scapegoat Wildernesses, skirting the Chinese Wall. After crossing Rogers and MacDonald Passes, it continues through historic mining districts and ghost towns. West of Anaconda the trail traverses the length of the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness, reaching the Montana-Idaho border near Lost Trail Pass on the 1805 route of Lewis and Clark. Winding through the Bitterroot Range, the trail passes high above the Big Hole National Battlefield, scene of conflict between the Nez Perce Tribe and the U.S. Army in 1877, and on to Lemhi Pass, headwaters of the Missouri River and marked by the Sacajawea Memorial. Continuing on through the Bitterroots, it crosses Monida Pass and winds along the crest of the Centennial Mountains above Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. Staying near the divide, the trail crosses Raynolds and Targhee Passes with views of Henry's Lake to the south and Hebgen Lake to the north, before continuing on to the end of this segment of the CDNST, at the western boundary of Yellowstone National Park.
