GREAT FALLS
– The Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana has announced
plans to host a celebration on Jan. 25 in Great Falls. The celebration comes
about one month after President Donald Trump signed the National Defense
Authorization Act containing an amendment giving the Little Shell Tribe federal
recognition, officials said.
The free
celebration will be held at the Holiday Inn from 5-10 p.m. and is open to the
public, tribal council members said. The celebration includes dinner,
traditional music played by fiddlers and speeches by dignitaries and council
members.
The public
is also invited to attend a pipe ceremony the same day at 1 p.m. at the Shawn
Gilbert Event Center, tribal members said.
