In “Montana’s Historic Chinese Communities”, Mark integrates primary source research on the history of Chinese communities in Montana, notably through the translation and interpretation of hundreds of letters back and forth from China to Montana that testify to the experience of Chinese Montanans as straddling two worlds. From primary and other sources such as photographs, this talk examines the development and changes within Montana’s Chinese communities; and the growth and decline of Montana’s Chinese population. Much of this historical source work happened with Mark's former secondary students. Mark will also share what the next steps are in sharing this story including his initial process of publishing of a book for young adults.

The presenter will discuss the early days of IEFA and the development of the American Indian Hall on the MSU campus and what both have meant for Native American education in Montana.

The condition we now know as PTSD is a descendant from front line Great War circumstances.
