Downstairs, in the gallery, on the west side of the museum, there is a room with a taxidermy bison. If you look to the left of the bison, there are a couple cases. One of them is a case of artifacts related to the battle of the little bighorn. Inside that case, there is a firearm, a springfield, acquired from a native named little moon. You can look at that object and contemplate how it changed hands, the travels that it took prior to that and the ways that might help us think differently about history in the west. Coincidentally, in the west, there is a small macabre basket. Maybe after this talk, you will be able to look at those objects differently. Maybe the objects will help you reflect on the talk differently. I was going to Say Something about trends in historiography, and about how different authors have been rethinking this, but i think it will come up. I will skip that part.
