Sho-Ban interpretive signs to be dedicated at Stanley Museum
STANLEY — The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, in partnership with the Sawtooth Interpretive & Historical Association (SIHA) invite the public to a special dedication on Saturday, July 12 at 1 p.m. at the Stanley Museum.
The event celebrates the work and partnership in developing permanent tribal interpretive displays for the Stanley Museum and Redfish Visitor Center & Gallery.
The displays share the unique history and lifeways of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes and their current and past connection to the Sawtooth National Recreation Area according to a press release.
The project was developed through a close collaboration between SIHA and the Tribes' Language and Cultural Preservation Department (LCPD) staff, including Louise Dixey, Nolan Brown, and Bailey Dann. Over the past decade, their department has developed dozens of interpretive signs across central and southern Idaho, highlighting important Indigenous history. Antonia Hendrick designed the signs with funding provided by the Idaho Humanities Council and the Sawtooth Society's License Plate Fund.
The event will be preceded by a program in the SIHA Summer Series by tribal members Bobette and Russell Haskett on Friday evening, July 11 at 5:30 p.m. titled, "Being Indigenous in the Modern Day."
Join the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes and SIHA for a weekend of learning about tribal history in the Sawtooth’s and visit the permanent interpretive panels at the Stanley Museum and Redfish Visitor Center & Gallery.
