Mitakuye Oyasin: A Pictorial History of All American Indian Days in Sheridan, Wyoming

From 1953 to 1984, the town of Sheridan, Wyoming, hosted All American Indian Days—a groundbreaking event created by Native and non-Native citizens to fight racial discrimination and celebrate Native cultures with dignity and pride. Over three decades, the event welcomed more than 4,000 Native participants annually from over 60 tribes, drawing national attention as a model for cultural understanding and collaboration.

To preserve this extraordinary legacy, The Honoring Project—supported by Native leaders, historians, and community members—is publishing a richly illustrated book: Mitakuye Oyasin (“We Are All Related”). The volume will feature over 300 images, firsthand stories, and scholarly reflections that place All American Indian Days within the broader context of the Civil Rights era and Native activism.

The Brinton Museum is proud to serve as fiscal sponsor for this effort. With your support, we can ensure that this powerful chapter in American history is remembered, studied, and honored for generations to come.

Your donation will directly support the book’s production and help amplify a story of hope, unity, and shared humanity.
