SCLT and Sheridan College to Host Discovery Program on Medicine Wheel

SCLT and Sheridan College Native American Student Organization to host Discovery Session: Messages from Medicine Wheel Country will be held on Wednesday, April 27 from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

It will be held at the Whitney Center For the Arts, Room W-235 on the Sheridan College campus. SCLT wants attendees to know that Room W-235 is upstairs, and can be entered from the North door near Kinnison Hall. The elevator is to the left.

Presenter Dr. Shane 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, Dr. Doyle describes how Native people thrived for hundreds of generations in the rich, but climatically extreme landscape of the Bighorn Mountain region.

Doyle, Apsáalooke, is an educational and cultural consultant who hails from Crow Agency, MT. Shane 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. He lives in Bozeman with his wife Megkian and their 5 children.

This Discovery Session is free to attend and is funded by the Wyoming Humanities Council.
