Program HistoryEach summer, members of the Blackfeet Nation and Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes share personal knowledge of their history and culture as part of the Native America Speaks program. This program began in 1982 and is the longest running Indigenous speaker series in the National Park Service. Native America Speaks programs are generally offered at park campgrounds and historic lodges, and in locations throughout the Blackfeet Nation. In addition, cultural presentations are offered at the 1913 Ranger Station, along Two Medicine Lake, in Apgar Village, and at Logan Pass star parties. To learn more about Native America Speaks, view this short film made in 2019 that chronicles the history of the program through the voices of the presenters. 
NPS PHOTO Program HighlightsNative America Speaks evening programs and cultural presentations provide opportunities for local tribal members to share their rich history and culture through singing, storytelling, presentations, and hands-on learning. In addition to programs offered in the park, Native America Speaks presentations are also offered on the Blackfeet Nation at the Museum of the Plains Indian and Chewing Black Bones Campground. Learn more about each of the presenters here. Recordings of several presentations from 2019 are also available: Vernon Finley, Don Fish, Tony Incashola, Darnell Rides At The Door, Treyace Yellow Owl, Ernie Heavy Runner, and Mariah Gladstone.
