2 – Welcome! Visitor’s Guide

FINDING YOUR WAY AROUND: A self-guided tour of the Magic City

Billings is the comfort zone of the West. In the Yellowstone Valley below, the city bustles with shopping, industry, art galleries, 200 restaurants, Billings Mustangs baseball, first-class live theater and entertainment, 4,000 hotel/motel rooms, horse, car and motorcycle racing, new movie theaters, performing arts theaters, museums and historic attractions. Multitudes of parks and river accesses offer outdoor fun.

Geographically, Billings is divided into the West End, Downtown and Historic District, The Heights, Lockwood, and the southside/southwest corridor.

The West End Access the West End from the Zoo Drive I-90 Exit 443 or the City Center Exit 446. ZooMontana is just off Exit 443. See its acres of habitat filled with exceptional animal species. It opens at 10 a.m. daily. Shiloh Road, which intersects Zoo Drive, will lead you to the major West End arterials of Shiloh Road, King Avenue, Central, Broadwater, Grand, and Rimrock Road.

From Shiloh, Rimrock Road leads you to Zimmerman Trail and up to the top of the rimrocks. Turn right (east) on Highway 3 to reach the airport.

Exits 443 and 446 lead you to West End hotels, and a wide variety of shopping and dining.

Take I-90 Exit 447 to reach the Bureau of Land Management State Office, and the motels and businesses surrounding it. Exit 447 is also the access to Amend Park, Riverfront Park and the Audubon Center on South Billings Boulevard. It offers a small lake with non-motorized boating, picnicking, fishing, equestrian trails (horses not provided) and hiking. The park covers several acres and offers a perfect place to get some exercise. There is plenty of shade. No admission is charged.

Downtown If you are coming from the west, Downtown is most easily accessed at Exit 450. North 27th Street is the spine of Downtown, leading straight to the airport.

First, Third, and Sixth Avenues North are downtown one-way arterials running west. (First Avenue becomes a two-way at North 18th Street.) Montana Avenue, Second and Fourth Avenues North are downtown one-way arterials running East.

If you are coming from the east, Downtown and the Heights can be accessed from Exit 452. Take First Avenue to go Downtown.

The restored train depot on Montana Avenue in the Historic District, where passengers boarded in days gone by, is now a great place to tour and take pictures.

It is a neighbor to a great selection of restaurants, shops and art.

Billings Historic District buildings and businesses have been renovated and refurbished back to the bustling atmosphere of the days when the Magic City sprang from the fertile banks of the Yellowstone River. Enjoy the modern-day cobblestones, ironwork any blacksmith would be proud of, flowers and trees.

The heart of Downtown Billings is at Second Avenue North and Broadway (North 28th Street). Skypoint points to the Big Sky of Montana and offers you shade and shelter. You’ll find helpful maps and merchant lists in kiosks around town.

Billings Heights If you are coming from the east along I-94, we recommend that you take Exit 23 at Pompeys Pillar (28 miles east of Billings). Visit the National Monument that bears Captain William Clark’s carved signature. Then proceed along Highway 312. Stop in Worden and Huntley to discover unhurried businesses and friendly people.

Follow 312 into Billings Heights. The Heights is a geographical benchland that rises above the Yellowstone River Valley. At Pemberton Lane, turn right and check out the wildlife displays at the Fish, Wildlife and Parks center overlooking Lake Elmo. Return to Main Street for a wide variety of food and shopping.

Main Street in the Heights will lead you to MetraPark, the home of MontanaFair, concerts, sports shows, ag shows, trade shows, motorsports and rodeos. Pose for a picture in front of the statue of world famous Saddle Bronc Champion Dan Mortensen. It is right in front of the MetraPark arena.

BOSTON with Eddie Money BOSTON ROCKS THEIR 40TH ANNIVERSARY WITH A 2016 TOUR

As Tom Scholz wrote in the rock anthem on the BOSTON album Don’t Look Back, “It’s a Party, Party, Party!” Indeed, the 40th anniversary BOSTON tour promises to be a celebration honoring the group’s loyal fans.

Eddie Money began his early years as a cop studying at the New York Police Academy before relocating to San Francisco and becoming a popular fixture around the Bay Area rock scene. On his 1977 debut, fans were introduced to Money’s unmistakable emotive voice and blue-collar rock ‘n’ roll appeal, with songs such as “Baby Hold On” and “Two Tickets to

11:11 Presents Stitched Up Heart “Listen to the lyrics, they’re going to make you feel something... “ - Mixi That something is the essence of Stitched Up Heart - a band built around the strength that comes from realizing we are the only ones that control our lives, and focused on the hope that reminds us there is always light at the end of the darkest tunnel. It’s something heavy and powerful, jarring the album’s epic closing track “I Can’t Breathe” from a piano-paced ballad that would do Lady Gaga proud, to a metallic onslaught of drop-tuned guitars that is sure to see the band sharing a stage with the hardest of their hard rock peers. And it is something undeniable, Mixi’s voice taking flight amidst anthems of self-awareness that bridge the unrelenting confidence of In This Moment’s Maria Brink and the soulful transcendence of Adele.

“When I formed this band I was depressed and going through heartbreak. The name is supposed to give people strength and courage,” professes the front woman in a warm and certain tone. “We all go through things that make us think we can’t go further but, especially when times are bad, I want people to see that time will pass and it will get better. The hopeful lyrics on this record are on purpose - I’ve been living in the dark for too long, it’s time to come into the light.

You need to pick yourself up because nobody is going to do that for you. There are some sick people out there, but there is beauty in everyone - and you need to love yourself before you can stitch that heart back up.”

“Finally Free” thrust the band into the national spotlight in early 2016, exorcising its demons and riding breakthrough success on SiriusXM Octane into the Top 20 at Active Rock radio. “That song is sentimental to me, it’s an eye opener because it’s when I realized that there was a light at the end of the tunnel and that life is really beautiful,” she

offers. But the demon returns on “Monster,” a blitzkrieg of stabbing guitars and shrill effects that opens with Mixi declaring, “Now don’t you make me, make me go crazy...”

We’re all a little crazy, but Mixi felt a little more possessed as usual when the band penned the monster track.

“The studio where we wrote ‘Monster’ was a pretty creepy place,” she details, “A black cat gave birth to two albino cats there, there were spell books on the shelves, it had a crazy energy and I almost felt possessed, the words coming through and speaking through me...

It might have also been that I was drinking a lot of Monster Energy Drink that day, but it felt like a beast came out!”

From the bombastic, dark and seedy tribute to their Los Angeles home that is “City of Angels,” into the great beyond via the cinematic super nova that is “Event Horizon” - the metaphoric closing of one door and the opening of a new chapter - the debut album oozes with a voice as powerful as the

music, and music as compelling as the voice it carries. “Everyone has felt like they don’t have anybody, I want to reach out to anyone feeling that way and let them know that they aren’t alone,” says Mixi of Never Alone.

Whether we’re ducking and dodging life’s often cruel barrage, embracing a moment of calm at the center of a storm, or simply looking for the strength to make it through the day, Stitched Up Heart have delivered the soundtrack for a life worth living... Turn it up, because we are never alone.

Pompeys Pillar Visitor Center open for the season Pompeys Pillar National Monument is excited to announce that it is open for the summer.

Hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., seven daysv a week. The main entrance gate will also be open during these hours of operation. Walk-ins are always welcome every day from dawn to dusk.

Daily fees are $7 per vehicle. Interagency passes are honored and can be purchased at the fee station.

Trails lead visitors past a replica of Captain Clark’s canoes and to a view of the 670 mile-long Yellowstone River.

The Friends of Pompeys Pillar, in conjunction with the Bureau of Land Management, hosts “Clark Days” on a weekend near the date each year to commemorate Captain William Clark’s visit to the site.

“The monument will be hosting a lot of exciting events this season and we really want folks from across the region to come celebrate the history and heritage of the West with us,” said Pompeys Pillar Monument Manager Dave Lefevre. “We especially want folks to put

Riverwalk The concrete Riverwalk, representing the Yellowstone River, begins in the parking lot and meanders through the interpretative center to the base of the Pillar. Signs along the path quote from Clark’s journals and tell of the party’s experiences from their entry on the Yellowstone on July 15, 1806, to their encampment at the confluence of Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers on Aug. 3.

Communities along the Yellowstone River welcome expedition travelers to tread where Captain Clark’s party trod on the return journey in July-August 1806.

Pompey’s Pillar Rock

From Billings: 30 min.

One of America’s most famous sandstone buttes. It bears the only remaining physical evidence of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, appearing on the trail today as it did 200 years ago. On the face of the 150-foot butte, Captain William Clark carved his name on July 25, 1806, during his return to the United States through the Yellowstone Valley. The Pillar overlooks the Yellowstone River about 25 miles east of Billings, Montana. The area is easily accessible from Interstate 94, using exit 23, or from State Highway 312. The Pillar is a sandstone butte or mesa covering about 2 acres at its base and standing about 150 feet high. Because it is the only sandstone outcrop on the south side of the Yellowstone River for several miles in either direction, it has been a landmark for centuries with spectacular views of the canyon and the Bighorn River below.

2

Cooney Reservoir

From Billings: 60 min.

This reservoir is a popular recreation area serving south-central Montana offering boating, swimming, camping and fishing. Attractions include good walleye and rainbow trout fishing.

Among the Highlights:

Top: French Pianist Lucas Debargue Right Top: Emily Helenbrook, Right Bottom: Jenny Chen

VENUES:

Concerts will take place in the Olivier Barn and the Tiara, with design concept and acoustics developed by Tippet Rise director Alban Bassuet in collaboration with a team of engineers from Arup, and in Domo, designed by Ensamble Studio. Bassuet said, “During my years of working as a venue designer, I have seen a change in sensibility and aspiration in the concert world. Musicians, audiences, architects, and acousticians have all started to look for alternatives to physical configurations and performance formats.

At Tippet Rise, we are meeting this desire by offering intimate, multi-sensory, and immersive performances in a range of indoor and outdoor performance venues matched with distinctive performers and spectacular natural settings.”

The scale and proportions of the Olivier Barn were inspired by the powerful performance spaces where Haydn and Mozart expected their works would be performed. A contemporary innovation—a high ceiling suspended above the boxlike space—lends an elevated, ethereal character to the deeply resonant acoustics, but is designed

to mimic the pitched roof of a traditional wood barn. The rustic modesty of this design helps to establish an informal atmosphere and dissolve the barrier between performers and audience. The 100-seat Tiara serves as a moveable acoustic shell without walls, featuring a partial ceiling whose corners re-direct sound toward the audience, creating vibrant and enveloping acoustics. The design allows for 360° views of the rolling hills, with the Beartooth Mountains in the distance. Local timber craftsmen Gunnstock Timber Frames have served as lead architect for the projects. Domo is one of Ensamble Studio’s raw-surfaced, quasi-architectural gateway structures and shelters for Tippet Rise, which rear up from the earth like primitive markers.

Tickets for all concerts are $10 for adults, and free for anyone 18 or younger. For additional information and tickets, please visit: www. tippetrise.org All ticket revenue is dedicated to the Art Center’s education programs.

As distinctive as Tippet Rise itself, the inaugural season, curated by music director Christopher O’Riley, will include a series of solo recitals by pianists known for their thoughtful, emotive, and individualistic musicianship.

Among the virtuosos scheduled to perform are Nikolai Demidenko (in a rare U.S. appearance), Stephen Hough, and Konstantin Lifschitz.

The season will also feature rising international stars: 2015 Tchaikovsky Competition laureates George Li and Lucas Debargue (in his first U.S. concert), as well as Anne-Marie McDermott, music director of Bravo! Vail, in a duet program with Christopher O’Riley.

These performances will showcase Tippet Rise’s growing collection of extraordinary pianos, which includes the recently acquired CD18, the concert piano of Vladimir Horowitz and Eugene Istomin.

Tippet Rise promises special musical experiences in settings that blur the lines between nature, art, and architecture. As an exceptional event, confirming the marriage of music and nature at Tippet Rise, the season will include a performance of John Luther Adams’s monumental

outdoor composition Inuksuit, played by 45 percussionists including members of the Billings Symphony, the Excelsis Percussion Quartet, and others, coordinated by Douglas Perkins.

The world premiere of a newly commissioned song cycle by the distinguished Spanish composer Antón García-Abril, Tippet Rise Songs, will be performed by soprano Emily Helenbrook at Domo, a 98-foot-long, 16-foottall, sculptural concrete structure created especially for Tippet Rise. Domo is one of several such structures commissioned from the composer’s son, also named Antón García-Abril, principal architect for the cutting-edge practice Ensamble Studio.

Tippet Rise also features outdoor sculptures and commissioned artworks by artists Mark di Suvero, Patrick Dougherty, and Stephen Talasnik. To celebrate these works and their creators, the season will feature open-air, on-site concerts.

Peter Halstead, co-founder of the Art Center, said, “There are moments in music when we are figuratively struck by lightning, when suddenly the gap between a sound and an emotion is bridged.

At Tippet Rise, we hope to provide the kind of atmosphere, and the kind of performers, that make such moments possible.”

Cathy Halstead, co-founder of the Art Center, said, “In a way, the meeting of music, landscape and sculpture at Tippet Rise returns us to the experience of performances and celebrations at the ancient Greek amphitheaters or Stonehenge.

We hope that Tippet Rise will bring out dimensions of music and art that might not be immediately obvious, but that nevertheless connect us emotionally to the beautiful places of the world.”

Musical Director Christopher O’Riley said, “For this inaugural season, we have selected music inspired by the environment, in keeping with the Art Center’s goal of restoring the profound, felt connection between the power of nature and the deep patterns of art. We believe this is a season in which music will ring true from the mountaintops. ”

Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness was created from existing National Forest lands in 1978. The wilderness is partly in Gallatin, Custer and Shoshone National Forests and is composed of 944,000 acres (3,820 km2). The wilderness encompasses two distinct mountain ranges, namely the Beartooth and Absaroka ranges. These ranges are completely distinct geologically speaking with the Absarokas composed primarily of volcanic (or extrusive) and metamorphic rock, while the Beartooths are made up almost entirely of granitic rocks.

Legends of the Little Bighorn live in Hardin

Big Horn County, Yellowtail Lake Hardin, 15 miles west of Little Bighorn (Custer) Battlefield, is situated on the banks of the Bighorn River. The town is surrounded by productive ranches and farms, and the area is rich in history.

General Custer meets his demise here every year. Civilized fun and comforts include a pioneer museum, an art gallery, trading posts, a variety of interesting shops, a kiddie playground, an indoor swimming pool and exercise rooms, and a golf course.

All the Comforts Accommodations: Motels, campgrounds, and restaurants will keep you comfortable while you explore the Little Bighorn Battlefield and Custer National Cemetery, Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, Yellowtail Dam, and the Bighorn River.

Chamber of Commerce Hospitality: Besides being the home of Little Big Horn Days, Hardin has other events from rodeos and parades to street dances, art and craft shows, to quilt shows.

See the calendar of events in this section, or call the Chamber of Commerce office at 406665-1672 for details.

Historians say the town was named for Samuel H. Hardin, a cattle man from Wyoming who leased tracts of land on the Crow Reservation to range his cattle. Local industry now includes farming and ranching, surface coal mining, fishing and recreational opportunities.

You’ll see sugar beets, corn, wheat, and barley in the fields.

The raising of beef cattle, sheep, hogs, and quarter horses is part of the livestock economic picture.

Just east of Hardin, where the Little Bighorn River joins the Bighorn, is the island site where the Far West sternwheeler boat anchored on June 27, 1876, to evacuate the wounded from the Reno and Benteen battles. It was the Far West that carried survivors with the story of Custer’s defeat to the rest of the world.

Museum and Visitor Center Big Horn County Historical Museum and State Visitor Center is easily accessible off Interstate 90, or Exit 495 through downtown Hardin.

The museum is located on a 35-acre site, once a flourishing vegetable farm that includes the original farmhouse and barn.

Through the years 26 authentic historic structures from throughout the county have been moved to the site and restored. Each building features exhibits that represent that era.

Along with the historic buildings, three structures were built on site to provide exhibit space for the horse drawn equipment, extensive collection of restored tractors and farm equipment, and a main exhibit building that serves as a visitor center, office and gift shop. Recent restoration projects include the Will James studio and a homestead house.

This living storybook of

early Montana shows the diversity of items that were used by early-day settlers.

A new 13,690 sq. ft. museum building opened in 2012. The new facility provides a climate controlled environment.

Historic District Hardin’s Historic District starts near Railroad Street and Center Avenue through the 200 and 400 blocks, plus buildings facing Third Street from Cheyenne Avenue to Crow Avenue.

The District earned a listing on the National Historic Register in 1984.

Call 406-629-0134 to schedule a walking tour. The Historic Preservation Office is in the depot. Big Horn County and Hardin information are also on the National Register database.

Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument I-90 Exit 510, 406-638-2621.

Open year round. Located near Crow Agency, on Highway 212 (I-90 Exit 510), Little Bighorn Battlefield is just 15 miles east of Hardin.

Crow Agency Apsaalooke The Crow Reservation is where culture and tradition are a way of life, perpetuated from generation to generation. Experience the culture of the Apsaalooke, “Children of the LargeBeaked Bird,” the Crow People.

Big Horn County Big Horn County is a land made up of varying jurisdic-

tions. As you drive across the Crow and Northern Cheyenne Indian Nations, be aware that each has its own unique regulations and law enforcement agencies. The National Park Service maintains jurisdiction at Little Bighorn Battlefield and the Big Horn Canyon National Recreation Area.

The scenic Big Horn, Pryor and Wolf Mountain ranges are part of the Big Horn County landscape. Visitors may want to enjoy fishing the Big Horn, Little Big Horn, and Tongue Rivers which wind through this region. The spectacular Big Horn Canyon National Recreation Area is host to water sports including boating, water skiing and more. Chief Plenty Coups State Park, at Pryor, contains much history of the Crow Indians.

Among the primary attractions within Big Horn County is the Little Bighorn Battlefield, site of the defeat of Lt. Colonel George Custer and the 7th Calvary by a combined force of Sioux and Cheyenne warriors in 1876. Annual reenactments of the battle occur each June . In August, Crow Agency, capital of the Crow Nation, hosts Crow Fair when the landscape is transformed by the addition of over 1,000 pitched teepees and thousands of people gathering for traditional dances, drumming and other events.

Big Horn County is rich in culture and time-honored traditions.

N-Cheyenne, Busby, Lame Deer and Ashland Loop

Tongue River in Ashland Busby Just off Highway 212 at Busby is a monument to Two Moon, a Northern Cheyenne Chief who took part in the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Convinced that he could not run from the army forever, he surrendered his band to General Miles at Fort Keogh (Miles City) and they remained there until the Tongue River Reservation was established in 1884.

The monument was built in 1936 by an Indian trader, Moncure.

In 1993 a historic reburial was held in Busby, bringing home the remains of 10 men, five women, and two children who had died about 116 years before, during the Indian Wars. The remains had been in the possession of museums at Harvard’s Peabody Museum, the National Museum of Health and Medicine and at the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum of Natural History. The remains are buried in a circle near the Two Moon Monument on Highway 212.

The “museum burials” were the result of an 1880s Army directive ordering military surgeons to collect the skeletal remains of Indians killed in battle in order to gauge the ballistic effectiveness of new Army carbines and to study Indian subcultures. A federal law was passed in 1990 that allowed the return of the bones to their homelands for burial.

Lame Deer Lame Deer is headquarters for the Northern Cheyenne Tribe and the site of the offices of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Also at Lame Deer are the Dull Knife Memorial College and Dull Knife Memorial Library. Lame Deer is the site of the Northern Cheyenne Annual 4th of July Pow Wow. Gourd dancing is

held daily, and rations and feasting are always part of the festivities.

The Northern Cheyenne Reservation extends from the Crow Reservation eastward to the Tongue River.

The Morning Star design is the official emblem of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe. For the Cheyennes, the Morning Star “lights the morning sky and shines more brightly than the other stars.” It has a different color. The Cheyennes often pray when they see this star early in the morning sky.

It has its own name in the Cheyenne language: Wohehiv.

Ashland Ashland is located on Highway 212 “The Warrior Trail.”

The St. Labre Indian School at Ashland celebrates over 129 years of education, social programs, college scholarships and much more. The Museum and Gift Shop summer hours are: Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend: Mon.-Fri., 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. After Labor Day, hours are Mon.-Fri., 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Varied weekend hours. Tours of the facility are available. The St. Labre Museum is filled with Indian artifacts from all over the country. Adjacent to the museum is a Native American gift shop.

St. Labre Founded in 1884 to serve the Northern Cheyenne Indians, St. Labre is located in the beautiful and historic Tongue River Valley, bounded by the Tongue River and the scenic Custer National Forest, filled with traces of early Indian days.

In 1883, a soldier, Private George Yoakam, stationed at Fort Keogh near Miles City, recognized the hard times experienced by the Northern Chey-

ennes. He contacted Bishop Brondel and told him of the Indian people who were roaming the Tongue River Valley without homes or land. Land was subsequently purchased by the bishop and, on March 29, 1884, St. Labre Indian School became a reality. Four Ursuline Sisters from Toledo, Ohio, responded to the bishop’s requests for priests and nuns.

St. Labre Indian School made a humble beginning with the construction of a log cabin school operated by the Sisters.

This three-room cabin served as residence, school and dormitory, as well as the church. A replica of the cabin now stands on the

site of the original mission.

Today St. Labre provides preschool to grade 12 education to Native children at three locations on the Northern Cheyenne and Crow Indian reservations.

St. Labre depends almost entirely on private donations for its many programs. Without federal or church funds, many friends all over the United States “keep the miracle alive.”

Visitors to this facility will enjoy seeing the unique teepeestyle church and Cheyenne Indian Museum with its large collection of Native American artifacts and art from the Northern Cheyenne, Crow, Sioux and several other tribes.

THE CROW AND NORTHERN CHEYENNE THE CROW

About 75 percent of the Crow tribe’s approximately 10,000 or more enrolled members live on or near the reservation. Eighty-five percent speak Crow as their first language.

This tribe was called “Apsaalooke,” which means “children of the largebeaked bird.” White men later misinterpreted the word as “crow.” Chief Plenty Coups was the last chief to gain that status in the traditional Crow manner. He lived until 1932, leaving his land and home as a park for all people. The Crow Reservation is in southcentral Montana, bordered

by Wyoming on the south, with its northwestern boundary about 10 miles from Billings.

For many years the vast coal deposits under the eastern portion of the reservation remained untapped.

One mine is now in operation and providing royalty income and employment to tribal members. The Crow operate only a small portion of their irrigated or dry farm acreage and about 30 percent of their grazing land. They maintain a buffalo herd of 300 head.

Attractions include The Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area features spectacular scenery, wildlife viewing, boating, fishing and camping. There are two visitor centers, one at Fort Smith and one at Yellowtail Dam. Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument/Reno-Benteen Battlefield commemorating the Sioux/Cheyenne victory over the Seventh Cavalry. The Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument features museum exhibits, an interpretive center and ranger-led programs.

Chief Plenty Coups State Park, home and grave site of the well-known Crow chief, Plenty Coups. There is a display of Crow artifacts and history, and a scenic picnic area.

Crow Agency becomes the ‘tepee capital of the world’ in mid-August during the annual Crow Fair celebration. Cultural tours offered through Little Bighorn College, which can be reached at 406-638-3104. You may also contact the Tourism Office and Visitor Center for more information about the Crow Indian Reservation by calling 406-638-7272.

Approximately 5,000 Northern Cheyenne, along with members of other tribes and with non-Native Americans, live on the reservation.

Lame Deer is the tribal and government agency headquarters. There are four other districts that comprise the whole reservation. The rugged country of the Northern Cheyenne Reservation is in southeastern Montana. It covers 445,000 acres and is bounded on the east by the Tongue River and on the west by the Crow Reservation.

Major employers include the St. Labre Indian School, the federal government, tribal government, power companies and construction companies. The education system,

farming, ranching and small businesses contribute to the economy.

A historical buffalo jump, burial sites of Indian chiefs, Custer’s last camp before the Battle of the Little Bighorn, the Cheyenne Indian Museum and Gift Store, St. Labre Indian School and the Ashland Pow Wow are of special interest in the Ashland area.

Lame Deer is tribal headquarters and home of the Northern Cheyenne Powwow. Some features are the Northern Cheyenne Arts and Crafts Center, Charging Horse Casino and Cafe, Chief Dull Knife College Cultural Center and Lame Deer Museum. The Pow Wow and Rodeo is held the 4th of July weekend.

Custer’s Last Stand and the Little Bighorn Real Bird Family stages Little Bighorn re-enactment Twenty-six years ago, the Real Bird family wanted to share more of Native Americans’ history and showcase the land where Sitting Bull’s camp was located when it became forever memorialized in the history books through the Indian Wars. History comes alive again June 24-26, each afternoon at 1 p.m.

Held on the banks of the Little Bighorn River where Sitting Bull’s Camp was between Crow Agency and Garryowen, Montana, the Real Bird Re-enactment of the 140th Anniversary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, also known as Custer’s Last Stand or Battle of the Greasy Grass, allows audiences to experience firsthand the historic struggle for control of the West where the Sioux Nation was encamped. Witness Brevet Major General Armstrong Custer, played

by Steve Alexander, and the Seventh US Cavalry Troopers come out of the Medicine Tail Coulee and clash with authentic Indian braves as they cross the Little Bighorn River to recreate that infamous day of June 25, 1876.

First time ever done, we will have an open public horse ride with the Cavalry of the Custer’s Trail on Saturday 9:30 a.m. to noon before the show! We have room for up to 100 extra riders for the Custer’s Trail Ride.

Witness Bvt. Major General Armstrong Custer, played by Steve Alexander (recognized by Congress to be today’s foremost Custer Historian), and the 7th US Cavalry Troopers come out of the Medicine Tail Coulee and clash with authentic Indian Braves as they both cross the Little Bighorn River, showcasing their great riding ability, to recreate that famous day of June 25th, 1876. This re-enactment briefly reviews the history of the interaction of the Whites and the Native Americans in the West, Native American culture and horsemanship, and the major battles of the Northern Tribes.

Experience with all your senses this epic battle of 600 7th US Cavalry and over 1,800 Warriors of

Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapahoe Indian Nations. The Battle of the Little Bighorn re-enactment was started to share more of the Native American story of the Indian Wars and to have the re-enactment on the ground where the teepees of the Indian Village were located, between Custer’s Last Stand Hill and Reno-Benteen Battlefield. The Real Bird re-enactment is located just south of Crow Agency, between the historic points of Custer’s Last Stand Hill, Reno’s Charge/Retreat, and the Reno-Benteen Battlefield. Held at Medicine Tail Coulee and Minneconjou Ford, this is where Custer’s Battalion was closest to the village and where E and F Troops were sent to attack the Indian village.

From Billings, travel south on Interstate 90 until you reach Crow Agency. Exit at the Little Bighorn Memorial Exit. Turn east (left) and cross over the interstate. Turn right onto the frontage road and travel 2 miles. Then turn left on to Real Bird Loop. Follow signs to the far side of the loop to the re-enactment.

Arrive 20-30 minutes early.

Bleacher seating is on a first come, first seated basis. Feel free to interact with re-enactors and tour the vendor tents, Indian tepees, and (with permission) the cavalry camps. Weather could be sunny and hot or windy and rainy so bring sunscreen, hat, and a light coat. Photography is encouraged.

Some troopers have been training as students here all week on horsemanship, history, weapons and more; camped in Wall tents on the banks of the Little Bighorn and living as troopers of the 1870s while attending the Custer’s Last Ride 8 day adventure by the US Cavalry School.

The Real Bird re-enactment lasts about 90 minutes. Cost is $20 for adults, $10 for kids 8 to 14 , and free to kids 7 and under. For quick processing at the entrance, exact change is appreciated.

Learn more about the show and open public ride at www.littlebighornreenactment.com.

CPT. Fetterman, a Civil War Veteran, stationed at Fort Phil Kearney (18 miles south of present day Sheridan, WY) had said that with 80 men he could ride straight through the heart of Sioux Country. Fetterman lead a relief force of 81 men of the 2nd Cavalry, 18th Infantry, and two civilians. One of the Braves that performed this stunt was a man named, Crazy Horse. The Government abandoned the Forts along the Bozeman trail, and the tribes were free of intrusion of whites for a time.

The discovery of Gold in the Black Hills of the Dakota Territory changed the course of history for the region. There had been rumors for a time, in 1874 the Government commissioned an expedition into the Black Hills to confirm the stories. It was lead by Bvt. Major General Custer of the 7th Cavarly; he took almost a thousand men on his march through the heart of Souix Territory.

Gold was discovered, and soon the secret was out. The land was owned by the Sioux as per the Laramie Treaty, so the US Government was required to charge the Military and mainly the Cavalry with keeping the white man from plundering their sacred Black hills. This proved to be impossible for a small force to secure an area of thousands of square miles. After conflicts arose with the flood of treasure hunters, the civilian population pressured the government to control the threat. Hence, an order from the Commissioner of Indian Affairs went out in December of 1875, that all Indians must return to their reservations by January of 1876 or be deemed hostiles to the US Government. Runners were sent out from the reservations, those that received the message laughed at the craziness of the demand. Even if they wanted to they could never return in the dead of winter.

The War Department had planned for a winter campaign, as had been successful in previous conflicts with the Plains tribes. Due to heavy snow fall, COL. Gibbons 2nd Cavalry from Ft Ellis, MT (Bozeman) and Gen. Terry/Bvt. Gen. Custer’s command from Ft. Abraham Lincoln,

Dakota Territory could not take to the field till spring. General Crook’s force did take to the field under Col. J.J. Reynolds and engaged a Cheyenne village in March of 1876. But victory slipped from this commander, and General Crook’s men were forced to return to Fort Fetterman.

General Sherman then planned to have a three prong attack on the Sioux. This provided all the nations of the Sioux and their allies that the US Government was serious and the military were going to attack if they found them off the reservation.

On June 25, 1876, General Custer and more than 600 of his 7th Cavalry Troopers fought 2-3,000 warriors on the Banks of the Little Bighorn.

They had been in the saddle for over 5 weeks since living Ft Abraham Lincoln on May 17, 1876. General Custer was called to atop the ridge at the Crow’s Nest at mid morning to see what his chief of scouts, Lt. Varnum and his scouts had seen of a signs of a big Village that morning.

After weeks on the trail and dust and the rising temperature of the day, General Custer could not see of what he was been told of a large village that is nearly 20 miles in the distance. He breaks his command into three Battalions. Then further separates his first two from the third Battalion commanded by Cpt. Benteen, who he sends to the Southwest and clearly away from the Village. CPT. Benteen and General Custer have been at odds for quite some time.

Custer attacks! Reno to the south end of the village, while Custer skirts the cliffs moving north. His men fight a running battle from the middle of the village at Minniconjou Ford to Last Stand Hill and all are wiped out, Reno who he promised help barely escapes with half his men from his attack on the southern end of the village. He is supported and saved by the return of Benteen.

The braves are led by warriors of great courage - such as Crazy Horse, Gall, Sitting Bull and others carry the day. They hold Benteen and Reno for two days as the village escapes before Col. Gibbon and Gen Terry arrive from the north.

SUNDAY MORNING

Quilt Shops BACKDOOR QUILT SHOPPE Famous for its “quilting bee” atmosphere. That’s what you get when you take a mother and daughter who describe themselves as “a couple of country gals who always loved sewing.” You’ll shop and sew in the midst of chatter and laughter. Their way of making quilting as fun for you as it is for them includes offering classes (one day or a series), helping you with fabric selections and quilting techniques, and offering open sewing times. Here for an extended stay? Come in and quilt! They have a huge selection of quilting supplies and sell finished quilts, too. They have masculine, Western and other theme favorites also. Judy Niemeyer Certified Shop, Batiks, and Anita Godesign Embroidery Cards. Brother and Nolting Long Arm Dealer, sewing machine repairs and antique sewing machine sales round out their offerings. Open Mon.-Sat. 9 a.m.-6 p.m. (Call earlier or later. If we’re here, we’ll open). 406-655-1001.

Located next to West End Perkins behind King Town Center at 712 Carbon Street. “Come in and let us share our love of quilting with you!” www.backdoorquiltshoppe.com

Hidden western treasures at the Yellowstone County Museum A hidden treasure western history enthusiasts will delight in discovering, the Yellowstone County Museum has exhibits dedicated to ranch life, homesteading, antique firearms, and one of the largest collections of American Indian artifacts in the region.

Charting the New Frontier New in 2014 is “Charting The New Frontier: An Exhibit of Mapping and Surveying the Yellowstone Valley.” In this exhibit history buffs will find a timeline of maps that date from 1778 to 1927 detailing railroad development, mining, fur trade, settlement and exploration. The maps are printed in a high quality, fine art form by Kim Lugthart of Artful History Reproductions in Missoula, Montana. The original maps are on loan from William Cole of Cole Law Firm in Billings.

Visitors will also find antique surveying equipment with descriptions on loan from Selby’s in Billings.

Cattle Drives of Yesteryear A J.K. Ralston original painting, spanning the breadth of the room, is displayed above the Yellowstone County Museum’s (YCM) authentic chuckwagon exhibit. It is a true-to-life depiction of the valley’s first settlers and the gear they brought west.

Short-horned beef cattle were

trailed into the Yellowstone River valley from Idaho and Oregon by Charles Yegen in 1879. Beef cattle production became a linchpin industry in Montana Territory once rail service to Billings opened access to eastern markets.

The pilot wagon had to be driven by a seasoned guide, often old trappers, explorers, and men who had been in country and knew the trails. Behind the guide came the chuckwagon, driven by the cook. The cook worked out of a converted freight wagon built to house supplies and kitchen tools.

Behind the chuckwagon was the bed wagon, piled high with quilts and treated canvas, the forerunners of today’s camping gear. Then came the bawling, tail-twitching mass driven by outriders. A cattle drive could cover about 5 miles per day.

Native American Collection Yellowstone County Museum is the kind of museum that tells the stories of the people and places, tools, art, and triumphs and heartache of the early residents, both Native American and settlers, who populated the Yellowstone Valley. The displays are considered some of best of its kind in the state.

The museum enjoys expansive space around the building.

The patio affords a spectacular

view of the Yellowstone Valley.

The museum gift shop is full of Native American reproductions and books of Yellowstone Valley topics.

The Yellowstone County Museum is located in the historic McCormick log cabin at

1950 Terminal Circle. Follow the roundabout through the airport and loop around. Hours are 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Learn more at yellowstonecountymuseum.org or call 406-856-6811. Free admission.

Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument is now open

Little Bighorn Battlefield is 15 miles east of Hardin. Picture, if you can, June 25, 1876, the day when over 210 troopers of the 7th Cavalry fell in battle. The thunder of hooves, war cries of the Teton Sioux and Northern Cheyenne Indians, rifle fire and death chants softly echo across the plain. This was...Custer’s Last Stand.

June 25, 2015 will mark the 139th anniversary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn.

The Visitor Center displays exhibits on the battle, Indian culture, and frontier soldiers. New interpretive exhibits include “People of the Plains,” a story of the Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho people at the time of the battle in 1876. Full-size photographic cut-outs and artifacts from the battlefield collection interpret the many roles that tribal members played, including the warrior’s dual role as hunter and warrior.

“Tools of the Battle” describes the vast assortment of weapons used in the battle by the 7th Cavalry and the Native American warriors.
