Red River War 150th Anniversary

Join us to celebrate the heroes in the Red River War for their wisdom, courage and leadership within.

The Red River War is considered to be the last valiant effort for the Plains Native Nations to stay on their traditional territories. Ultimately the Native Nations were "removed" to Indian Territory and they continue to commemorate their heroes in that War for their wisdom, courage and leadership.
