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.

The United States has lost its standing in the world and strayed from its purpose, former Sen. George McGovern will tell an audience at City Club Missoula on Friday.

"We’ve wandered too far away from the founding principles of the country," McGovern said in an interview in advance of his speech. "We do so many things that, if not unconstitutional, have wandered from the spirit of the founders."

McGovern was a Democratic U.S. senator from South Dakota from 1963 to 1981 and ran for president against Richard Nixon in 1972. He was a staunch opponent of the Vietnam War. In the Senate, he crafted – with Sen. Bob Dole – the legislation that created the Special Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, or WIC, and the national reduced-cost and free school lunch program.
