A Look Back
 (No. 217)
In highlights from the past two seasons, our first story takes a look at statistics which reveal most of Montana's homeless population has lived in the same area for at least two years. Next, in Helena, Moe Wosepka of Good Samaritan Industries and Maria Nyberg, director of God's Love Shelter, talk about their work with Montana's growing homeless population. In the op-ed segment, we visit with Missoulian Editor Mike McInally. And finally, Dr. Henrietta Mann talks about the significance of the Smithsonian's American Indian Museum. Montana Focus is produced by Gene Brodeur and Scott Sterling for KUSM/ MontanaPBS, MSU-Bozeman.
