Our Side: Apsáalooke Stories from the Land

Saturday & Sunday, July 24-26 2026

Presented by River Arts & Books and curated by JoRee La France, Our Side: Apsáalooke Stories from the Land is a two-day gathering honoring the living history, sovereignty, creativity, and cultural traditions of the Apsáalooke people.

Through oral storytelling, conversations with elders, scholars, artists, and community leaders, the weekend features creation stories, reflections on the land we live on, discussions of Apsáalooke sovereignty, contemporary art and community work, as well as a pop-up market highlighting Indigenous makers and artists.

Together we invite the wider community into a weekend of listening, learning, and cultural celebration rooted in place, memory, and resilience.

Everyone is welcome and all sessions are free though registration is required. Bring a blanket or chair to spread out on the lawn, and plenty of food and water if you plan to be with us all day, as there are no services in Roscoe.

More information and presenter bios are coming soon. Stay tuned!
