#HashtagHowTheWestWas1 or 1 Million
Tim, People are loving your hashtag #HashtagHowTheWestWas1 for our newest fundraising campaign. Disappointed my #FunRaisingForTheCowboy hashtag initiative didn’t really get the traction I was hoping for. Can you work up another email and post? The Museum is getting a great response and outpouring of support but everyone knows that this has been a challenging year […]

#HashtagHowTheWestWas1
Tim, Loved your last email for the Museum’s fundraising campaign. Simple and straight to the point that this is an excellent institution providing continuing inspiration and education about the diversity of the West. I noticed you didn’t really incorporate my hashtag concept #FunRaisingForTheCowboy. Or, if you have a hashtag idea, I’d love to hear your […]

Find Your West

Fields of Fearlessness
Stories about Fields vary from source to source, but the most common theme is of her brazen, bold, and daring personality. There is no question she was a strong African American woman in a time when being a woman alone was stifling and offered few options.

Surviving the Dust Bowl
Rather than being untold stories, however, for many these are stories well known. Stories of individuals such as my grandfather, James Nidey, who today at age 96 still lives on the same section of land where, as a young man, he endured the 1930s in the epicenter of the Dust Bowl:

SUNDOG
When one considers that the appearance of sundogs actually presaged the Battle of the Washita, it becomes clear how an abstract work of art, when viewed through a certain contextual prism, can reveal a story as profound as that of the United States’ conflict with Plains Indian cultures of the 19th century.

Jackson Sundown: Busting Broncs, Breaking Barriers
He challenged the perceptions and definitions of identity. He demonstrated that people are multi-faceted and not one dimensional. He was not a Nez Perce or a cowboy. He was a Nez Perce and a cowboy.
