This gathering is inspired by Cheyenne elder and artist Merlin Little Thunder, who shared fond memories of his childhood in Fonda. He recalled evenings filled with singing, food, and stories—when night fell, the children would gather inside the tipis to listen to the old ones share their wisdom through storytelling.
In honor of this tradition, we will have two tipis set up—one for girls and one for boys—reflecting the way women once shared stories with the young girls and men with the young boys.
We invite the community to join us for an evening of singing, storytelling, food, and tradition.
