The National Park Service hopes to continue planning for a major anniversary event featuring tribes, the leader of the Yellowstone National Park said during a media call on June 14, 2022.

More than a dozen tribes have agreed to participate in the Yellowstone 150 event during the last week of August, Superintendent Cam Sholly said in response to a question posed by Sho-Ban News Editor Lori Ann Edmo.

Although catastrophic flooding, landslides and other calamities have closed Yellowstone for the time being, Sholly said he is looking forward to the event, which would include an encampment of tribal nations.

"I really want to see that event proceed," Sholly said on the call, noting that it would help restore tribes to their rightful place in the Yellowstone landscape.

The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, owner of the Sho-Ban News, is among a number of Indian nations with treaty rights and historic rights to Yellowstone National Park.

Yellowstone, which is America's first national park, is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2022.
