Language is more than words, itโ€™s a way of seeing the world. โœ‹

Through our Plains Indian Sign Language (Hand Talk) project, Wyoming Humanities works to preserve an endangered yet powerful form of communication that once connected tribes across the Great Plains.

We honor the work of Eastern Shoshone elder Willie LeClair, whose vision and voice continue to inspire this preservation effort. His legacy reminds us that the humanities help keep culture, and connection alive.

Our hearts ache as we announce the passing of John Kinsel Sr., a cherished elder and one of the immortal Navajo Code Talkers. At 107, he leaves behind a legacy of unbreakable bravery forged in the fires of Bougainville, Guam, and Iwo Jima. From 1942 to 1946, as a U.S. Marine, he wielded his sacred language, the uncrackable code, to weave the vital communications that defied the enemy and tipped the scales of World War II. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

More than 100 circular stone monuments have been found throughout the Rocky Mountains, but the Bighorn Medicine Wheel in Wyoming is the best preserved and among the largest. Since the site was first described, archaeologists have sought to discover when and why the wheel was built. Oral histories from the Shoshone and Crow are helping answer these questions!

Today and every day, let us remember that these lands have always been cared for. The mountains, rivers, and deserts of New Mexico have been held in relationship by Indigenous peoples since the beginning of memory, and that care continues.

Indigenous communities carry forward ancient knowledge, tending to the earth with the understanding that we belong to the land, not the land to us. Their leadership in protecting wild places isn't just about conservation. It's about honoring reciprocity and listening to what the land asks of us.

True conservation means learning from and supporting Indigenous-led efforts to protect these places. The future of New Mexico's wild spaces is strongest when guided by those whose connection to this land runs deepest.

Today is Indigenous Peoplesโ€™ Day - a day to honor the original stewards of this land, their enduring cultures, deep traditions, and powerful contributions that continue to shape our world.

At Prairie Edge, we are humbled to stand alongside Native artists, creators, and communities - to share their stories, celebrate their resilience, and preserve their heritage with the respect it deserves.

Take a moment today to listen, to learn, and to lift up Indigenous voices - not just today, but every day.
