Tour an American Indian
reservation from a unique vantage point - from the back of a horse, the
way our ancestors saw it.
Zane and Sandy Spang are members of the Northern
Cheyenne Tribe and they welcome you to visit their homeland.
In order to help you appreciate the significance of your visit to this
land, workshops are provided on Northern Cheyenne history, culture and
ethnobotany. You can also learn about Gourd dancing and how to play the
intertribal ‘Hand Game’.For your evening campfire entertainment you
can listen to a Cheyenne storyteller, join in a country western singalong,
watch a comic troupe of Clown Dancers, or just relax to the beautiful
music of a Northern Cheyenne flute player who composes his own music and
makes his own flutes.
LOCATION:
To get to the Cheyenne Trailriders Ranch you travel to Ashland, Montana
on Highway 212, proceed to the northern end of town where you will turn
onto Highway 2. This is a paved road that will take you along the
periphery the historic St. Labre Mission complex where Highway 2 changes
to Highway 11. Follow Highway 11 until you see mile marker 3, then take
the next left turn (which will be marked) onto a gravel lane. Stay to the
right when you cross a cattle guard and the road will take you up around a
hill and into a valley where the road ends at the Cheyenne Trailriders
Ranch.
