Family Trip to Ninepipes
Arlee families with kids of all ages had a blast at our recent Ninepipes field trip. They toured the museum, went on a nature walk guided by a biologist, enjoyed a picnic lunch, had an ice cream snack, and had time to take in the scenery and draw or color in their art journals. Check out the photo gallery for a look at the fun.
Book Reading with Local Author
We’ll be hosting a book reading and discussion on Thursday, October 9th from 1 to 3 PM featuring Sally Thompson, author of Black Robes Enter Coyote’s World: Chief Charlo and Father De Smet in the Rocky Mountains. The book explores the complicated history of Jesuit missionaries, treaty-makers, and Indian agents among the Bitterroot Salish, through the lives of real people.
Thompson picks up the story of the Salish peoples and black-robed missionaries at a Potawatomi mission on the Missouri in 1839, and follows their intertwined experiences throughout the lifetime of Chief Charlo. This event will include the author reading selected passages, followed by a discussion session with the audience.
Light refreshments will be served. The book will be available for purchase, and the author will be happy to sign new or previously purchased copies. Registration is not required for this event, and everyone is welcome to attend.
