IMLS host meetings for historical photosPABLO — The IMLS-NPC Historical Photo Exhibit Project Coordinator, Mary Jane Charlo, will be holding three informative community meetings to promote interest and gather historical images and information from residents of the many communities of the reservation. These images will be used in an exhibit that will be shown in seven of the reservation communities. When the exhibit has completed the tour, it will be housed at The Peoples Center. It will be a valuable educational tool explaining the history of the reservation. At each meeting, photo descriptions will be recorded, releases signed by the owner, and stories will be told and recorded, pertaining to each photograph. This photograph exhibit will demonstrate how everyday people make history, and how history affects our daily lives. Participants can proudly share their histories and contributions to the development of the reservation as they know it today. Copies of submitted photographs will be shown at the meetings provide an idea of the type of photos accepted, (which is about anything and anything having to do with the reservation). History is comprised of memories of events, people, dates and places that held our families together during hard times and good times. These photographs have documented those memories and preserved them for a time when they can be shared. Knowledge grows in value through sharing. Education is the sharing of knowledge. Designated Exhibit locations to date are: The Red Poppy, The Arlee Historical Society, The Polson/Flathead Historical Museum, The Hot Springs LaRue Museum, and The Tribal Complex. The following dates are scheduled for meetings in the communities, so bring your photos or just come and look at photos and listen to stories: All meetings will start at 7 p.m.
Everyone is welcome. Any Questions may be directed to Mary Jane Charlo, 406-675-2700, ext. 1283; email: maryjanec@cskt.org. |
