Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Dr. Hilton Lewis, the head of the W.M. Keck Observatory http://www.keckobservatory.org/ in Hawaii, was this year’s speaker.

Lewis’s observatory houses two of the most powerful telescopes in the world near the summit of the 14,000-foot volcano Mauna Kea.

"All the big questions about the universe, how it started, how it’s evolving, how it’s going to end," Lewis said, are being asked there.

"Science isn’t a thing that happens in textbooks," Lewis said. "It’s a human enterprise dominated by human mistakes and endeavor."
