Illustrating Montana’s Chinese History: While Montana once had thriving Chinese communities across the region, telling the history of these groups is difficult. Few remaining individuals and families that connect back to the history, a lack of source material, and the language barriers for what sources do exist complicate the telling of Chinese Montanans’ experience. Through transnational translation projects and deep archival research, author Mark Johnson has worked to illuminate the history and contributions of this group of historic Montanans. Join Johnson as he details the innovative ways this research into Montana’s historic Chinese communities is being shared with new audiences.
