I’m proud to say that I’m Montanan bred and born. That said I come from people who were all Montanan 3 generations back. Prior to that I have ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War and prior to that were immigrants from Ireland, England, Germany and a few other countries. My point is that all Montanans are products of immigration from somewhere with the exception of the American Indians who indeed had their lands and way of life stolen from them as the west was settled. I believe anyone who lives in Montana or once did can call themselves Montanan! I don’t like seeing the cost of living in Bozeman being so high that my son and his family can no longer afford to live there now that he’s graduated. He is looking outside of Montana for work which will take my granddaughters too far away for my liking (unless he takes a potential job as a mechanical engineer in Laurel. Although I enjoy the show Yellowstone it’s mainly because I like Kevin Costner, the show makes it appear that Montana’s State Government is fraught with corruption; that I do not like!! That’s my two cents worth. We truly live in God’s country from the far west edge to the Far East end!!!
