Join us for a special Chinese New Year presentation by Mark Johnson!
From the earliest days of non-Native settlement of Montana, Chinese pioneers played a key role in the region’s development. In this lecture, Mark Johnson, the author of Middle Kingdom under the Big Sky, will detail how Chinese Montanans achieved cultural continuity and togetherness through their practices while resisting tensions and threats from their detractors.
