Morning Star Indian Village at CFD

For over a century, the Indian Village at Cheyenne Frontier Days has been a vibrant and integral part of the "Daddy of 'em All," showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Native American peoples. What began as an early feature of the Western celebration has evolved into a cornerstone of the event, fostering cultural exchange and understanding. Looking ahead, a significant expansion and renaming to the Morning Star American Indian Village is poised to further elevate its prominence and impact.

COVER OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE MAGAZINE! WOW!

Here’s a little story. . .

Timothy Schuler of LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE MAGAZINE came to visit us last summer. We toured him around the Hills. We told him stories about rural Landscape Architecture practice. We introduced him to the dogs, Mike Stahl, and the Custer Wolf. We shared family stories and heard about life as a writer. What a fun time.

Then a few months went by and while we knew we were going to have a short article written about our work in the northern hills we had no idea it was going to be on the COVER of LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE MAGAZINE!

We were driving when we found out and had to pull over and hyperventilate while we processed!

The October cover of Landscape Architecture Magazine featured our work in Lead! Wow!

This issue was the current issue during the 2023 Landscape Architecture Convention in Minneapolis and man, did we feel honored.

This article is fantastically written, with beautiful photography by Louise Johns - an amazing photographer who has a film about her father and her called “The Wonder and the Worry” premiering at Big Sky Documentary Film Festival @bigskydocfest in Missoula, MT on February 25th. She’s amazing. And so is Timothy. We are so happy to have gotten to know them both.

The article is a good summation of our philosophy of working in small towns and rural communities. You can read it with a free Zinnio account here.
