The daylong event will bring together tribal nations, descendants, veterans and community members for a program honoring the history and significance of this place.
The morning program features a keynote address by Dr. Leo Killsback of the Northern Cheyenne Nation and a wreath laying to honor all who fell during the battle. Members of many Montana tribes will participate, including a group riding in on horseback from nearby Trail Creek. Afternoon activities will include historical demonstrations, drumming, a victory dance and a community meal.
"This park often gets overlooked because we're a ways off the beaten path, but we're in a very scenic location, and June is a great month to visit," said park ranger Spencer Morris. "We're really honored to partner with our Native American neighbors to host this important event."
Rosebud Battlefield State Park is located in Rosebud County, approximately 20 miles south of Busby on Highway 314. See our website for more info about the Battlefield.
