John White Speaker Series: “Blackfoot Place Map Plots a Free-ranging Culture” with Souta Calling Last

Description

Souta Calling Last (Blackfeet/Blood, shown third from left), who grew up in Heart Butte, has made it a mission to map significant sites of traditional Blackfoot places of creation, animal management, prehistoric presence, and more. Mapping involves field visits as well as documentation via photographs, research, and writing. Calling Last will talk about how she makes her determinations, share local stories, and discuss Flathead Valley sites such as the Flathead Lake pictographs and the vortex near Columbia Falls. She also will detail a newly discovered rock-art site west of Whitefish that has drawn archaeologists from as far as Italy.
