Communication was established with information sources in Montana's fifty-six counties, and disciplines in the Arts and Sciences were used to interpret the regions of Montana through the mediums of the museums and National Historic Sites. Bibliography was developed. Summaries were written in French and, with citations, in English. During the study i t became apparent that many geo­ logical and archaeological specimens had been removed permanently from Montana. There are many private collections within the state. A suitable museum could preserve some of the specimens for study at the Univer­ sity of Montana in Missoula. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT . i i PREFACE . IV PHOTOGRAPHS .

Alphabetical Cross Reference to Map of Montana Counties, with Page numbers in Text PREFACE The physical world has influenced the development of Montana history, with the inhabitants molding themselves to f i t their surroundings. The product is a unique group of people whose history and culture are echoed in the National Historic Sites and museums of the state. French trappers, traders and priests made part of the history, but l i t t l e was written about Montana in French in this century, as my husband and I discovered in 1954 from our neighbors, the Brandels, in Paris. Canada, directly north of us, provides bilingual cultural materials for its French-speaking citizens. Now, with the present work, the French- speaking world w ill be able to l i f t a corner of the page and perhaps hear the sound of the wind blowing in eastern Montana, comprehend the influences of the Laramide Orogeny and ongoing tectonic factors, the Fort Union Formation, and Montana's Glacial Lakes upon the geography, culture and lif e of Montana today. A comprehensive view of the developing museums and sites w ill always be incomplete. A quote from the 1899 University of Montana Thesis of Earl Douglass, The Neocene Lake Beds of Western Montana, is appropriate, and it mirrors my thoughts: "It has been my e ffo rt to make as few mistakes as possible, yet . i t is impossible that no mistakes should be made." Acknowledgement is due to many people for th e ir gracious help, including my Committee Chairman, Frank Bessac, who allowed me to do the work, showed me the possibilities and advised me consistently along the way; 0. W. Rolfe, who believed in my a b ility to expand my French; K. Ross Toole, for his example of in fin ite patience, c la rity of thought and intellectual honesty; and David M. Emmons, for reading the project to allow its fru itio n . i v Others I wish to thank are Joann Mussulman, who provided the in itia l lis t of museums; Kay Turman, who reviewed my lis t of art centers and museums; William Melton, for information on various workers in Montana paleontology; C. N. M iller, who provided the Paleobotany bibliography; the many professors under whom I studied, with special thanks to the Geology Department; the helpful librarians at the Mike and Maureen Mansfield Library; the many Montanans who shared information with me; and fin a lly , Marie-No£lle Bonnifassy, who read my French, and Elaine and Raymond Murray, for their encouragement. My work is dedicated to my husband, H. Bruce Mac!ay, and our children, Sarah E., Thomas B. and William H. Maclay, and to the inspiration they have given me. May only good come of this. v ERTS SATELLITE MAP - MONTANA FARK COUNTY MUSEUM, LIVINGSTON, MT. SPACE, TIME AND CULTURE Through the context of horizontal and vertical space, anc* of time, geological, archaeological and historical, we begin to know about Montana cultures and past and present life . CHAPTER I SPACE Location: The Northern Rockies and Great Plains Montana is located in the Northern Rockies and Great Plains areas between 45 and 49 degrees north latitude and 104 to 116 degrees west longitude and is in the wheat belt of the American West. The location gives rise to a highly seasonal climate with long summer days and long winter nights. Its high vertical re­ lie f causes chinook winds on the east slopes and a wide variety of microclimates and vegetation. A resilient plant cover is the net result. The fourth largest state, it has 147,138 square miles, including 1,600 miles of surface water. From east to west along the Canadian border i t is 550 miles. On the west i t is 325 miles from north to south, and 280 miles in the east. Granite Peak is the highest point, at 12,799 feet, on the Beartooth Plateau. Troy is the lowest, at 1,800 feet, on the Kootenai River (Taylor 1974: 2-4). Although i t is the fourth largest in size, Montana had only 785,000 inhabitants in 1978 (Bur. Bus. & Econ. Res. UM 1979). 1 Le temps, V espace et la culture Dans le contexte de 1'espace horizontal et vertical, et du temps, geologique, archeologique ou historique nous commenqons a connaitre les cultures passees et presentes du Montana.

  • Primitive and Archaic Aspect Is Strangely Reminiscent of Prehistoric and Rupestral Art
    P R I M I T I V E & A R C H A I C M A R T I N D O U S T A R Arts d’Afrique, d’Asie, d’Océanie et des Amériques Archaism in anthropology is defined as the absence of writing and the economy of subsistence. Although the word has a negative connotation in modern language, often associated with backward and obsolete concepts, it reveals a whole different meaning when it comes to aesthetic and arts. That is precisely what all this is about here... 1 RARE SABEAN BRONZE PROTOME Qataban Kingdom, Yemen, Arabic Peninsula, circa 700-100 BC Height : 18 cm Provenance : Private collection, New York Galerie David Ghezelbash, Paris (acquired in 1999) Private collection, Paris In the shape of the powerful forequarters of a bull, his massive head with round muzzle, grooved nostrils, and ribbed bulging brows, symbolic motifs and a crescent moon engraved on the fore- head, a lozenge-decorated diadem between the horns. This rare Sabean inscription is dedicated to the moon god and refers to the people of Qataban, the most prominent Yemeni kingdom in the second half of the 1st millenium before Christ. A written report by Prof. Walter W. Muller, from the Center for Near and Middle-Eastern studies of Philipps Univeristy of Marburg, describes in detail the context and the meaning of these different motifs. “The South Arabians before Islam were polytheists and revered a large number of deities. Most of these were astral in concept but the significance of only a few is known.

  • Illustrating Stories of the American West Karen Yarnall Introduction This Unit Is the Result from Taking the Delaware Teachers I
    Illustrating Stories of the American West Karen Yarnall Introduction This unit is the result from taking the Delaware Teachers Institute seminar “The American West as Place, Process, and Story” with University of Delaware’s Barry Joyce, Associate Professor of History. Not only will it fit into our art curriculum, but it will also increase the students’ knowledge of the American West and add an appreciation of tales that are a part of it. This unit will allow students to make cross-curricular connections between social studies, literature, geography, reading, writing, and art. After studying the American West with its rich history, art, and stories, my students will then select and research a folk tale, legend, myth, story, tall tale or Native American story from the west and capture a moment from their selections on paper in a color illustration. They will analyze and evaluate their own work and that of their peers in critiques. The unit will culminate with an art show for the community featuring the student illustrations. As one of three art teachers at Newark High School in Newark, Delaware, I plan to teach this unit in two of my classes. My Art Fundamentals class is our foundations course with an enrollment of over 30 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade students. The other class is my small upper level Advanced Drawing class that is composed of juniors and seniors who have more advanced skills. Newark High School is a Title 1 school with a population that is over 50% minority, 43% low income and 7% special education.
