Dr. Orlan Svingen and several WSU graduate students participated in the 2016 Public History Field School that began May 23.  The first leg of the journey was at Virginia City, Montana.  The field school provided hands-on experiential learning opportunities. Tribal specialists from Virginia City, Montana and Salmon, Idaho participated.  See more information here.

These are some field school students at the Big Hole River near Twin Bridges, Montana.  Nearby was the grave of Tendoy’s sister.
