MADISON JUNCTION, Wyo. \u2014 Over the past 151 years, people have traveled from around the world to experience the unique landscape of Yellowstone National Park because it has remained largely untouched, showing what life there has been like for thousands of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for three days this week, a historic presence was briefly restored in Yellowstone after being absent for a century and a half. A village of 20 teepee lodges rejoined its rightful place among the park\u2019s grizzly bears and bald eagles, the cottonwood trees and meandering streams, the gurgling geysers and bubbling mudpots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese are my homelands, among many other people who\u2019ve come through here and called this landscape home,\u201d said Ren Freeman during the Thursday opening of \u201cYellowstone Revealed,\u201d a temporary, interactive art installation created by an inter-tribal group of Indigenous artists and scholars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI welcome you,\u201d said Freeman, an Eastern Shoshone anthropologist and director of the Indigenous Research Center for Salish Kootenai College on the Flathead Indian Reservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy people, as Shoshone people, we believe this land created us,\u201d Freeman said. \u201cI belong here. I belong to this land.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freeman\u2019s deep and personal connection to Yellowstone echoed the comments of many other Native speakers at Thursday\u2019s event. They detailed their efforts to recognize a historic presence in the park and to reconnect with the landscape while engaging with visitors by telling their stories and sharing their cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Park Service recognizes 27 tribes as having historic and current ties to Yellowstone. Now in its second year, \u201cYellowstone Revealed\u201d is one of a series of Native cultural events and installations around the park that began last year as part of the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of Yellowstone\u2019s founding as the world\u2019s first national park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYellowstone Revealed\u201d was created in cooperation with Mountain Time Arts, a nonprofit organization based in Bozeman, Montana that produces public art projects and programs that explore the history, culture and environment of the West and Native people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project, which was on view from Thursday to Saturday, allowed park visitors to explore the historic, current and future relationships between Native Americans and Yellowstone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Situated in a meadow at Madison Junction where the Gibbon River joins the Firehole River to form the Madison River, the teepees combine art and storytelling at a place where Native dwellings once stood, before their owners were excluded from the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Symbolism behind teepees<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Michael Spears, an actor, singer and Kul Wi\u010da\u0161a Lakota from the Lower Brul\u00e9 Sioux Tribe of South Dakota, spoke about some of the symbolism behind the teepees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A traditional grandfather lodge or medicine lodge would have 28 poles, he said, which is the same as the number of ribs in a female buffalo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA teepee is a representation of our life,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you look at a person\u2019s teepee or their dwelling, you can see into their soul and how they operate, where they come from and how things are in their life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a circle, just like how there\u2019s no beginning or end to our life,\u201d said Spears, who was featured in the film \u201cDances with Wolves\u201d and has appeared in several TV shows, including \u201cReservation Dogs\u201d and \u201cLongmire.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sean Chandler, an Aaniinen (Gros Ventre Nation) artist, created a series of 11 teepees that contrasted what Native life was like before and after contact with white European-Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen Indian people were first met by Europeans, there was always this desire to define us as low, savage, less than a human being,\u201d said Chandler, who described his work as sometimes being \u201csarcastic or a little dark.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat same concept was drilled into our heads to be \u2018nobody,\u2019 and we could only go so far in society, and that would be it,\u201d he said. \u201cSo that\u2019s the kind of story that my work takes into account.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But by also highlighting positive aspects of traditional Native culture with his teepees, Chandler said he seeks to \u201cbuild and mesh these two worldviews together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ben Pease, an artist with roots in the Apsaalooke and Northern Cheyenne tribes, painted one teepee yellow and decorated it with images of Indigenous men; he made a similar women\u2019s teepee and painted it blue. The teepees play on a trick of human vision, based on how visitors\u2019 eyes interact with the teepee colors, the sky and bright sunlight. Upon exiting the women\u2019s teepee, a visitor\u2019s vision is filled with a pink hue, while the men\u2019s teepee reveals a blue color. Pease also painted a new original work during Thursday\u2019s opening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Susan Barnett, curator of the Whitney Gallery of Western art at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, described Pease as an important artist, and said the museum recently acquired one of his paintings because it manages to convey both traditional Native imagery and contemporary abstraction\u2014themes also on display throughout \u201cYellowstone Revealed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognizing stories<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think that if we recognize each other\u2019s stories, it\u2019s powerful, because we as humans share stories, and that\u2019s where we place our values,\u201d Pease said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith this installation, I think we\u2019re here to recognize those stories that have been told on this land for millennia,\u201d he said, referencing the documented presence of Indigenous people in Yellowstone dating back over 11,000 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd we can\u2019t forget that those lives that have been played out and lived here on this land were human lives,\u201d he said. \u201cThe stories that everyone here has shared today are important\u2014as important as they were thousands of years ago, hundreds of years ago\u2014and as important as they will be into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the more than 100 people who attended the installation\u2019s opening was Paul Chalfant, who drove with his wife, Diane, from Livingston, Montana to experience \u201cYellowstone Revealed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalfant said the millennia-long Native presence in Yellowstone has traditionally not been part of most historical accounts of the park, or was referenced only in passing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo just having something this big and this visible is wonderful,\u201d he said, calling the teepee grouping \u201ceven more amazing than last year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnything the park can do to invite them back or have them back is great,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James Holt, a member of the Nez Perce Tribe who lives in Idaho, brought his son, Leo, and daughter, Sistina, to experience the \u201cYellowstone Revealed\u201d opening, traveling from West Yellowstone, Montana, where he has been working this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur own historic homeland that we would come to annually was up in the Pelican Valley here in the park,\u201d Holt said. \u201cSo we have a history tied here that\u2019s thousands of years old, even though we\u2019re known as an Idaho tribe now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holt said that as tribes \u201cstrengthen these relationships with the Park Service and others,\u201d it is \u201cvery important for us to maintain a presence here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those growing relationships between tribes and the Park Service got a major boost last year after \u201csubstantial outreach\u201d that came as part of Yellowstone\u2019s 150th anniversary, said Linda Veress, a park spokeswoman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veress said the anniversary was \u201ca pivotal opportunity to listen to and work more closely with the 27 associated tribal nations connected to Yellowstone to better honor their significantly important cultures and heritage in this area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the Native speakers and attendees at \u201cYellowstone Revealed\u201d said they were eager to see it return next year and beyond, along with other similar projects in Yellowstone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are not just restoring our presence from the history that some of you may know,\u201d Freeman said. \u201cWe were removed. But we never left. So \u2018Yellowstone Revealed\u2019 is the concept of sharing with you our continuous presence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt has become our way of sharing with you who we are from our perspective,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd in partnership, we are all educators.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
