Montana State University’s Museum of the Rockies will create an exhibit exploring the region’s Native people. “American Indian Voices: Natives of the Northern Plains and Rockies” will examine cultural history, language and storytelling, and contemporary art and voices. Working closely with tribal elders, consultants, and volunteers, the museum is decolonizing its outdated exhibit approach. The new exhibit and programs will embrace Native perspectives and values and explore American Indian life today.
