As we eagerly awaits completion of the Montana Heritage Center addition in Helena, we’ll be looking back on 49 years of gathering to talk about Montana history. Keynote speakers will include Pulitzer Prize winning author Elizabeth Fenn, who will be talking about Sacagawea's capture and the history of the early West, and Salish educator and author Julie Cajune, who will be performing her one-woman show Belief: Lives and Stories of Montana's Salish Women.
