  • Letter to the Editor - Can't beat city on urban chickens

    Updated Jun 30, 2023

    I guess the old adage is true: “You can’t fight city hall.” At least not in Havre. The council held an ordinance meeting on June 20th to discuss a backyard hens. Except they didn’t. They apparently just counted heads. One supporter for it and six against it. That was good enough for them to not vote. How convenient. What wasn’t counted were the hundreds of Havre residents who signed a petition of support for the initiative. That list was provided to each of the city councilors weeks ago and they know that those are actual Ha...

  • The Klan in Montana

    Updated Jun 30, 2023

    History may not repeat itself, but it rhymes. Patterns and cycles seem to repeat over time. Almost without exception, perceived threats to the racial, ethnic, or religious majority have triggered populist reactions to change. Ethnic minorities have been persecuted because of race; religious minorities because of faith; women and LGBTQ Americans because of gender and sexuality. Over time, all have found themselves in the crosshairs of the “defenders” of tradition. Most people may think they hold a live-and-let live att...

For the plains tribes like the Assiniboine, Gros Ventre, Cheyenne, Chippewa Cree, Crow and other Montana tribes, the offer was much appreciated for the bison was and remains a crucial part of their...
