On Monday, May 26, 2025, the Yellowstone Tribal Heritage Center opened to the public for the season. Located in the Old Faithful area, the Yellowstone Tribal Heritage Center is a space where Indigenous artists, scholars and presenters from the 27 associated Tribes of Yellowstone National Park directly engage with visitors through demonstrations and discussions. Now in its fourth year, the center is a partnership between the National Park Service and Yellowstone Forever, with Tribal consultation.

During the 2025 season, 27 presenters from 16 associated Tribes will directly engage with Yellowstone visitors through formal and informal education. Presentations will include photography, beadwork, flint knapping, dancing, storytelling, quillwork and more.

“The Yellowstone Tribal Heritage Center continues to be a place of connection—where Indigenous voices, histories, and lifeways are shared directly with the public,” said Alyssa McGeeley, Tribal Engagement Manager and member of the Muscogee Tribe from Oklahoma. “Each season deepens the relationships between Tribes and the park, and it is a powerful reminder that these are not stories of the past, but of living cultures with enduring presence and purpose in this landscape.”

The Yellowstone Tribal Heritage Center is open from May 26 through October 18, 2025. Centrally located between the Old Faithful Lodge and the Old Faithful Visitor Education Center, the Center features Tribal demonstrators on site Monday through Saturday each week, with the retail Park Store open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The Yellowstone Tribal Heritage Center is made possible by Yellowstone Forever, the National Park Foundation, and generous private donations.
