A state famously regarded as desolate but made seemingly dense and outrageously interesting in this cartoon by Roz Chast, scanned from the April 22, 1996 issue of The New Yorker. Still awesome 11 years later. But has the mosaic changed much since its publication?
I think that without Tribal presence (this reservation and others) on this map it's as good as Bush's exit strategy. What are they, invisible?
BTW- The US 93 project is a 56 mile long landscape project that includes native plant salvage and revegetation, highway realignment, 40+ wildlife crossings, comprehensive signage and interpretation, community revitalization, and the unprecedented cooperation between Tribal, Federal and State governments.
Inconsequential trivia aside, perhaps we can add dino hunters to the map, alongside the militias, who--from what I remember from news reports back in the mid-90s--were living off-the-grid and vehemently unkind to trespassers and federal agents alike.
ints: Not sure you'd want a "Tribal presence" as the map is meant to show some of the more absurd personalities calling Montana their home and the inevitable clashes between two or more of these groups. Rumble in Helena, tonight on HBO On Demand.
I'm pretty sure one of the mad bombers is Ted Kaczynski. Would you want the reservation mapped next to his mountain cabin?
But then again, maybe there are tribes I haven't heard about who want to build The Great Casino of America right on Public Lands, thus setting up Thrilla in Pompeys Pillar with environmentalist nutters and anti-gambling religious nutters.
And Anon #3: what do you not like about the logo? I think it needs improvement as well. It should be more weedy, more luxuriously bushy, in desperate need of a pruning. Like decades-old growth of a Hindu sadhu, filling the page, diminishing legibility.
