Messages from Medicine Wheel Country

The Sheridan Community Land Trust and the Sheridan College Native American Student Organization welcome Dr. Shane Doyle for a special upcoming Discovery Session: Messages from Medicine Wheel Country. According to information from the Land Trust, the discovery session will be held on Wednesday, April 27 from 5:30 to 7 pm at the Whitney Center for the Arts, Room W-235 on the Sheridan College campus. Room W-235 is upstairs and attendees are asked to enter from the North door near Kinnison Hall.

Doyle will provide insight into the ancient cultural history of the Northern Plains and Intermountain West.  Synthesizing the archaeological data, genetic evidence, and contemporary cultural sensibilities, Doyle will describe how Native people thrived for hundreds of generations in the rich, but climatically extreme landscape of the Bighorn Mountain region. Dr. Doyle is an educational and cultural consultant who hails from Crow Agency, Montana.  He is an educator, archaeological and genetic researcher, curriculum designer, environmental advocate, performance art producer, and Plains Indian style singer.  Currently, Doyle is helping to lead the commemoration of Yellowstone’s 150th birthday with the installation of an Intertribal Teepee Village near Gardiner in August of 2022. The discovery session is free and is funded by the Wyoming Humanities Council. You can RSVP for the event here.
