Summer Travels to Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Parks
Shortly after the solstice, which marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere we’re heading west to the Grand Tetons. A few weeks later we travel on to Yellowstone. Once again Kelly LookingHorse has been invited to share Lakota heritage, art, and traditions. Through storytelling, song, and crafts. Kelly infuses his presentations with his life experiences and is always ready to engage with the audience and answer their questions.
We’re also looking forward to returning to these extraordinary natural places, which hold immense significance for the Indigenous peoples who have called these mountains home for centuries. Beyond drawing inspiration from the breathtaking beauty surrounding us, we have the privilege of meeting people of all ages and backgrounds from around the globe. These encounters enrich our lives and foster meaningful connection and shared understanding. We hope that by sharing our cultural traditions, we have also given visitors an opportunity reflect on many transformative experiences the National Parks have to offer.
Mark your calendars for these dates we hope to see you here!
