“The colors and contours of ethnicity in Montana- and in the United States as a whole-are much like those found in a medley of musical themes in a symphony. Each melody has it’s own unique characteristics, but listening to the whole symphony reveals that the individual themes complement one another in such a way to create an even greater design: a pattern that, at its best, produces an amazing level of harmony and balance.” –  A Montana Cultural Medley, edited by  Robert  Swartout, Jr. (pg. 17)
