  • A shaded, sunken dance arbor

  • Artisan booths and vendor spaces featuring authentic crafts, beadwork, and artwork

  • Storytelling and music areas where visitors can hear traditional flutes, drums, and oral histories

  • An exhibit honoring American Indian scouts and veterans who served in the U.S. military

Experience the Spirit of the Plains

The Morning Star American Indian Village will rise over Frontier Park in 2026 — a vibrant new chapter in the Cheyenne Frontier Days™ legacy. From the rhythmic beat of the drum to the swirl of color in the dance arbor, this immersive cultural destination will honor the enduring spirit of the American Indian and their deep connection to the land, sky, and story of the West.

Honor Legacy. Preserve Culture.

For generations, the horse and buffalo defined the nomadic lifestyle of the Plains Indians. Horses gave tribes mobility to follow and hunt the buffalo, which in turn supported large, thriving communities. To celebrate this sacred connection, the Morning Star American Indian Village will install 1,300 feet of decorative fencing featuring running horses and buffalo silhouettes.

Now, you can sponsor one of these iconic figures—a lasting tribute to heritage and history.
