Strange Empire by Joseph Kinsey Howard

Looking for something to read this holiday season? Trying to find the right book for the Michif relative you know just can't resist a good read?

Get Strange Empire, Thank me later, k.

I've returned to this #Hill57 thread.

Hill 57 appears on the 1940 U.S. Census of Great Falls from pg. 47-52/60. The area encompasses the confluence of Sun River into the Missouri & the land North and west of the confluence. The School District is a midpoint between Hill 57 and the Missouri.

“For people who grew up away from cultural and community connections, the journey of rediscovery and reconnection can be painful, confusing, full of blocks and stops and take years before some felt sense of connection and understanding formulates.”
