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 Smiths are both educators who have long been involved with the arts. In 2000, they formed Cast of Characters, a theater group that offers activities, from summer camps to after-school programs, for area youth. More recently, they introduced in-school residency programs for students in grades 2-8. The workshops teach theater arts skills through fun activities that incorporate lifelong lessons in community building.
