MontanaHistoricalSociety

University of Montana environmental studies professor Dr. Rosalyn LaPier shares photographs by Ella Mad Plume Yellow Wolf. Yellow Wolf—who was LaPier’s great-aunt and whose images are now in MHS’s collection—documented life on the Blackfeet Reservation in the early 1940s, providing an intimate look at children and community, employment and work life, military involvement, and religious practice, both Christian and Native.
