The Foundation for Montana History (FMH) is making strides in preserving the rich history of Montana’s 56 counties. With a focus on Lake County this year, FMH has awarded $10,000 in grant funding to the Ninepipes Museum of Early Montana for their ‘Voices That Shaped The Ninepipes Museum’ project. This project aims to capture the stories and memories of elders and community leaders through audio interviews, ensuring that these invaluable pieces of history are preserved for future generations.
Bud Cheff, founder of the Ninepipes Museum, emphasizes the importance of these belongings and photographs as living beings that tell important cultural stories. Through the project, Cameron and Aspen Decker are bringing to light the history and traditions of the Salish people, bridging the gap between the past and the future. The oral tradition of sharing stories is being carried forward through podcasts, making history accessible and connecting the community to their heritage. The project is a testament to the value of preserving history for small communities and future generations.
