Next time you are in Broadus, Montana, you may notice some new artwork as you drive past the Broadus Corner Store...where two young ladies from Kirby, Montana have spent the past few months creating a giant mural that celebrates some of the history of Powder River County.The creator is Miah Chalfont, a Northern Cheyenne artist who told KGHL that her mural honors the history of homesteading and the enduring presence of indigenous peoples in Powder River Country. The 15-foot by 60-foot mural named “PA'EO'HE'E (Powder River), The Good Hunting Grounds”, depicts a faded parchment page from the 1920 US Census forPowder River County, overlaid by a herd of 13 colorful bison, with the images of two of the most famous Cheyenne Chiefs, Dull Knife and Little Wolf.KGHL's Taylor Brown interviewed artist Miah Chalfont, and her assistant Shawnee Real Bird, about the project. On Monday September 22nd a huge crowd gathered in downtown Broadus to celebrate the completion of the project made possible by the “Building a Better Broadus” pilot Community Tourism Grant from the Montana Department Commerce Office of Tourism. Local supporters include the Broadus Corner Store, Yellowstone Bank, the School Community Development Council, and the Kingsley History Project.--------------------------------------------The following additional details were provided by Clara Caufield, Northern Cheyenne Columnist:A journey of healing begins. On Monday, September 22, a historic event occurred at Broadus, MT, where 150 people representing Powder River County and the Northern Cheyenne joined to celebrate the unveiling of a mural at the Broadus Corner Store. The mural commemorates the Northern Cheyenne, and was created by Northern Cheyenne artist Miah Chalfont Realbird at the request of the Kingsley History Project.A small pioneer town named Kingsley once existed near what is now Broadus, where many conflicts occurred between the Cheyenne, Sioux and U.S. Calvary. The Kingsley History Project has the mission of making that a historic site and wishes to involve the Northern Cheyenne and Sioux peoples in that effort. Thirty-six Northern Cheyenne tribal elders, including traditional Chief Leon Seminole and Tribal President Gene Small attended and even provided rides for some elders to get to the event.Speakers included: Shawnee Realbird, a pilot (first Indian woman in Montana to do that); photojournalist; and poet; Miah Chalfant Real Bird (Artist); Leo Seminole (Prayer); Henry Real Bird (Former Poet Laureate of Montana); Jade Sooktis,Northern Cheyenne (Montana State Rep. District 41); Tribal President Gene Small and warrior society headsman; Kingsley History Project: John Amsden; Mina Seminole (the Reynolds Battle); a Broadus County Commissioner; and Clara Caufield, Chair, Northern Cheyenne Elderly Commission. All the speakers addressed the need for healing and forgiveness between the two diverse communities of Broadus and Northern Cheyenne. They all have historical roots and ties to that area, it being the site of many engagements between the military, Northern Cheyenne and Sioux, especially the Reynolds Battle, 1976, a great precursor and influence upon the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Perhaps, not all people in each community will agree, but the leaders have decided that 150 years is long enough to hold a grudge. As one speaker reminded, our forebearers were human beings, caught in the grip of historical forces beyond their control, both sides trying to do what was right for them at the time.Clara Caufield can be reached at acheyennereview@gmail.com.-------------------------------------------------(Crowdscene photo credit: Dani DrainePhotography)(Nightpainting scene photo credit: Shawnee RealBird)

The Northern Cheyenne people made history this week. After meeting privately for several hours on Thursday, the Cheyenne Chiefs Council in an unprecedented action drafted a declaration calling for the use of traditional tribal law to remove many of the currently elected members of Tribal Council, along with several Staff, and ban them from ever serving again. Since those members had barricaded themselves inside the Littlewolf Capitol Building, the center of Cheyenne tribal government, along with an illegal Security Force, those Chiefs demanded the offices to be opened back up to the public, and the private Security members removed. The issue came to a head last week after a questionable meeting of the council, where members passed a resolution to urge removal of Cheyenne President Gene Small, in an action that was later disapproved by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. President Small was pressured because he wants to see a forensic audit of some $90 million in federal ARPA and Covid funds. To explain exactly what happened, Robert McClean called into Voices of Montana on Friday September to talk with Tom Schultz and Taylor Brown on the statewide radio program. Robert McLean, Jr. is not Cheyenne, but a highly respected local community leader trusted by tribal members. McLean is a former Principal of Lame Deer Elementary School, former Superintendent at Wyola and St. Labre Schools, and more recently the Lay Advocate at Northern Cheyenne Tribal Court.
He discussed Montana Fair, Rodeo Billings and Billings Museum funding.
Gene Small began his first 4-year term as the new President of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe less than a year ago, in November 2024.His support for an official Audit of the $90 million that the Cheyenne Tribe received in recent years through federal Covid and ARPA funds, has now stirred a call for his removal. On Monday August 18, tempers flared at the regular TribalCouncil Meeting, resulting physical violence and some arrests.CLICK HERE TO LISTEN to KGHL's exclusive interview with Northern Cheyenne President Gene Small, as he explains his commitment to transparency and accountability, and why he thinks this issue is so important to the Cheyenne people.
