Cheryl Hughes is an educational consultant in Missoula, Montana. As a retired High School English teacher, she has served various organizations including the National Museum of Forest Service History, the Museums Association of Montana, Hockaday Art Museum, and Bonner Milltown History Center via the Teaching Primary Sources Division of the Library of Congress. Cheryl has extensive background in the planning, execution and  the facilitation of educator training workshops throughout the U.S. When she is not planning one of these events, you may find her attending another as she increases her knowledge and background. 


For three summers (2011,2013,2015) she served as the Master Teacher for NEH Landmarks workshop, “Richest Hills; Mining in the West, 1860-1920.”She was hired as a consultant by the Montana Historical Society.  In that effort she worked with nearly 200 educators across the US, hosting them as they toured and learned of the Mining history of Montana.


 She continued to create and execute training and events for non profit organizations  largely in the Rocky Mountain West. However, recently she has served as Project Director in developing a national effort with Dr. Herma Viola and his colleagues created the “Warriors in Uniform” program under a grant from the National Endowment of Humanities. This project seeks the oral histories of Native American soldiers who have selflessly given to  the US Armed Services throughout the history of the U.S.  Those oral histories are currently being recorded on website/http://www.warriorsinuniform.com/ Though this project is a “work in progress”, it promises to be an monumental database of Native American military service, an accolade that has been long neglected.


Cheryl has been affiliated as well with extensive work for the author, John N. Maclean and helped him develop public events throughout Montana for the past 7 or 8 years. Sh developed a LOC project called “Home Waters” that introduced his work to museums across Montana.
