LISTEN FIRST MONTANA

For this 4^th installment of our mini-series focused on Leadership Montana’s newest program, the Indigenous Immersion Initiative, we’re joined by Jim Swan of Rocky Boy, and Adrienne Hines of Helena. Jim and Adrienne discuss why they chose to join the program, what has surprised them from the program so far, and how Adrienne plans to take what she is learning back to her local community and workplace. As a member of Leadership Montana’s Indigenous Advisory Committee charged with overseeing the Indigenous Immersion Initiative, Jim shares his early concerns about non-native perceptions of Indian Country, and how that has changed throughout the program.
