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.

A media arts program in Hamilton is one of 200 finalist organizations in the running for a national, $25,000 grant from State Farm Insurance.

Peter Rosten founded the Media Arts in Public Schools http://www.mediarts.org/ program, known as "MAPS,"10 years ago after working as a movie producer for 40 years in Hollywood.

Rosten said MAPS has developed into an after-school film, design and music program.

Now, instructors say they’re vying for the grant, which they would use to purchase equipment and enhance other areas of the MAPS program.
