Indian Montana:
A Winter Count
Many of the Indian nations of Montana traditionally made a pictographic record of the events of the previous year. This record, usually recorded on a hide, is called a Winter Count. The Winter Count presented in this book as a chronology includes both events which happened within Montana and some events of national importance—such as laws, court cases, books, and attitudes—which impact the Indians living in the Montana. The book divides the history of Indian Montana into the following eras:
Before the Europeans
Explorers & Traders
Treaties & Reservations
Allotment & Assimilation
Tribal Reorganization
Termination
Self-Determination
