Voices of Yellowstone: First Peoples Celebration

"Voices of Yellowstone: First Peoples Celebration" will take place August 4-10, 2024, in Gardiner, Montana. This event, hosted by Yellowstone Forever in partnership with Yellowstone National Park and in collaboration with the Pretty Shield Foundation, Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council, and Gardiner Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center, aims to honor and celebrate the diverse cultures of the Indigenous Peoples of Yellowstone—past, present, and future.
The public is invited to participate in this free, week-long event. An opening ceremony on Sunday, August 4 will feature a blessing, drumming, and opening remarks. Educational opportunities throughout the week will include illuminated teepees, cultural demonstrations, an Indigenous art market, a night of Native games, cultural tours, and a community potluck. The celebration will be brought to a poignant and powerful close with a closing ceremony on Saturday, August 10, which will feature guest speakers, a drum circle, and the final lighting of the illuminated teepees.
