Bitterroot Salish Cultural Scholar & Arts Instructor; Expert in Indigenous History & Traditional Arts; Presenter for Humanities Montana
Buck Hitswithastick Biography
Buck Hitswithastick (Morigeau) is a scholar of northwestern Native American cultures, with a primary focus on the Bitterroot Salish of western Montana. Hitswithastick began his exploration of Indigenous histories and traditions in his late teens, initially venturing into the Lolo National Forest to deepen his understanding of Salish culture and survival skills. He later sought mentorship from tribal elders to further his education in traditional arts and tribal history.
Hitswithastick attended Salish Kootenai College and participated in conferences and trainings related to Northwestern and Plains Indian studies. He spent several years at Vanderburg camp in Valley Creek, where he learned about traditional art and tools from elders. His education included an apprenticeship with a Salish elder and master weaver, leading to certification in basketry by the Montana Arts Council. Hitswithastick has taught students of various ages and backgrounds, including teaching the Bitterroot Salish language at an elementary school on the Flathead Reservation. He also teaches Reservation Arts at Salish Kootenai College, a course he once took as a student.
As a Bitterroot Salish cultural expert and arts instructor, Hitswithastick received support for "Old Montana Ways," a documentary that documents the creation of primitive tools, weaponry, and skills from before European contact. He also appears in the film "The Art of Primitive Survival: Native American Tools and Techniques," where he shares his experiences as a Bitterroot Salish artist, musician, historian, and educator. His presentations include storytelling and demonstrations of pre-European contact tools, weaponry, traditional dress, early reservation arts, and Native American upcycling.
With more than 30 years of experience in cultural immersion, language, and wilderness skills, Hitswithastick offers discussions on wisdom, strength, and determination as passed down by his ancestors. He addresses topics such as leadership, warriorship, and wellness through the lens of pre-European contact Native culture and early reservation history. In his presentation "Legacy Reclaimed," Hitswithastick explores the history and culture of Montana's Native communities, examining the effects of racism, forced displacement, boarding schools, and blood quantum policies. He has served as a presenter for Humanities Montana's speaker bureau, focusing on Montana history, Indigenous culture, and Native American studies. Hitswithastick describes himself as living in both Western and traditional worlds, sharing his culture and engaging young people to help preserve Indigenous traditions, language, and ways of life.
