Utah North to South: Stories of the Land and the People

The Brigham City Museums hosted a panel discussion on the history of the Mountain West and the role the Utah landscape plays in those stories with Molly Cannon, Director, Utah State University’s Museum of Anthropology and Mountain West Center for Regional Studies, Darren Parry, Former Chairman, Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation, G. Russell Case, and Jodi Graham, Executive Director, Utah Humanities as moderator.
The landscape features of the Mountain West, dramatic in scale, call us to explore, to reside, to rest. For millennia, peoples of the Mountain West have relied on the great abundance that support life, crafting shelters from its timber, cultivating food from its soils, and creating diverse lifeways across its land. Like his vast representations of landscape, Case’s work permits an opportunity to see yourself among the land, experience grace, whoever you might be, whatever your connection to the Mountain West.
