['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2025-01-16

The Lynda Frost Gallery in the Missoula Art Museum in Missoula, Montana is dedicated to promoting and featuring contemporary Native artists, artwork, and voices. A special exhibition, For the Good of All Things, celebrated the wealth of artists from a variety of Tribal backgrounds and mixed Tribal affiliations who are living in communities across Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribal (CSKT) lands. Included in this exhibition were some clubs (sometimes called war clubs but often used as dance clubs) and a decorated buffalo skull.
