Indigenous Demonstration Days

Join Travelers’ Rest State Park every Thursday this summer for Indigenous Demonstration Days! This series features different Indigenous artists and educators to share their knowledge in traditional crafting, artistry, language, and more. Thursday, July 2 from 11 AM to 2 PM, TRSP hosts Dr. Lanny Real Bird for a lesson in Plains Indian Sign Language. This event is FREE to attend and welcomes all ages.

Travelers’ Rest State Park is known for its tie to the Lewis and Clark expedition, but aims to share a more holistic and inclusive story. The modern site of the state park exists in the traditional homeland of the Bitterroot Salish, at a crossroads of trade and travel for time immemorial.
