Reflections West for August 07, 2012
8:30 PM - 8:35 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: Drawing from both archival research and his experience with elders of the Salish and Pend d'Oreille tribes, Thompson Smith reflects on the relaxed confidence of indigenous people and its roots in the traditional way of life -- and the way that confidence has been consistently misunderstood by non-Indian observers. He pairs his reflection with two historical documents
Reflections West is a weekly 5-minute program that presents the reflections of writers and scholars on the American West. These thinkers pair their own thoughts with a passage from literature and history.
Reflections West’s aim is simple: to circulate—as widely as possible—wonderful passages of literature and history of the West in a thoughtful and thought-provoking way.
The program is produced and hosted by University of Montana professors, Lisa Simon and David Moore.
