History of Numaga Indian Days Pow Wow
The Numaga Indian Days Pow Wow is named after Chief Numaga, the famous Paiute Chief, known for peace. Chief Numaga was a great 19th century leader who had the courage and the vision to counsel against war. Facing severe threats to his people by invading white forces, Numaga repeatedly chose peace. His successful peace negotiations, helped set a precedent for future disputes.
Numaga also has a documented history of trying to preserve the destruction of our aboriginal lands. Numaga called the pine nut groves, the Indian’s orchards and asked whites to collect fallen timber instead of cutting down healthy trees. Unfortunately, Numaga’s early advocacy for Mother Earth fell on deaf ears. Translated from the English language, Numaga means “Give Food.” He passed away in 1871 and is buried in the hills near Wadsworth.

Visitors to the annual Chief Plenty Coups Day of Honor will step into a bit of history at the event. They can tour the home where the last traditional chief of the Crow Nation lived. Visitors will hear stories about Chief Plenty Coups and the Crow people. In prior years, the 195-acre state park, which sits 40 miles south of Billings, has drawn a crowd of more than 100 people to hear talks, eat fry bread, buy Native jewelry or attend a buffalo feast, poke their heads inside a teepee or step into the visitor center to learn about the Crow chief.
Chief Plenty Coups’ homestead was dedicated as a peace park in 1928. But the idea for it came to the Crow leader back in the 1880s, when he and other tribal leaders visited Mount Vernon, home to President George Washington, said park manager Chris Dantic.
When Chief Plenty Coups heard how the home of the “great white leader” was open to the public, it inspired him to do something similar. He wanted to leave his land, his homestead, as a park — not just to Crow people but to everyone — since the the chief was a man of peace, bringing people together. He wanted to make sure it was shared by all cultures. The No. 1 comment at this park is about its peacefulness and the serenity. With little changed on the hilly land that surrounds the park, it’s not hard to imagine it in the time of Chief Plenty Coups.
About the Park
Chief Plenty Coups State Park is a cultural and historical state park located in Pryor, MT within the Crow Indian Reservation, just 35 miles south of Billings. Chief Plenty Coups (Aleek-chea-ahoosh, meaning “many achievements”) was the last traditional chief of the Crow Tribe and his home is now a National Historic Landmark. Upon Chief Plenty Coups’ death in 1932, 190 acres of his land was turned into a public park. This decision was made by Chief Plenty Coups and his wife, Strikes the Iron. The park is a day use park where people can see and walk around his log home, sacred spring, and homestead. There is also a visitor center with exhibits about Chief Plenty Coups and the history of the Crow People as well as a gift shop. There is a 3/4 mile trail around the park along beautiful Pryor Creek. The tranquil, shaded picnic area is a beautiful spot to enjoy lunch and absorb the serenity of this special place.

About Old Fort Niagara
Old Fort Niagara has dominated the entrance to the Niagara River since 1726. In American hands since 1796, Fort Niagara was recaptured by the British in 1813, and then ceded to the US a second time in 1815 at the end of the War of 1812. Today, visitors can discover an amazing collection of military architecture, including the oldest building in the Great Lakes region: the “French Castle.” The fort is a New York State and National Historic Landmark and hosts several reenactments each year.
Old Fort Niagara offers a chance to step back in time to an era when great empires struggled for control of North America. Visit original 18th century buildings, enjoy incredible views and take part in exciting living history programs. The Fort’s Visitor Center offers you introductory exhibits filled with original artifacts and an award-winning 16-minute orientation film. Don’t miss the Fort’s original War of 1812 Flag.
Inside the Fort, you’ll tour original buildings where Native American, French, British and American soldiers lived and worked from the 18th to the 20th centuries. During the summer months you’ll witness musket and artillery firing demonstrations, go on a guided tour, see artisans at work and learn about life on the Niagara Frontier during the 18th and early 19th centuries.
If you visit during one of our special events, you’ll meet reenactors who faithfully recreate the lives of past Fort garrisons and depict the struggles that led to the birth of the United States and Canada. If you visit during the off season, you’ll enjoy self-guided or audio tours and hourly musket demonstrations in addition to the many exhibits and period rooms throughout the Fort.
