Indigenous actor Mo Brings Plenty brings cultural significance to celebration of Western heritage at Cheyenne Frontier Days.
The Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum honored and welcomed Yellowstone actor and C&I American Indian Cultural Consultant Mo Brings Plenty (Lakota) in July. His visit was a deeply meaningful event that brought spiritual and cultural significance to Cheyenne Frontier Days' celebration of Western heritage. Brings Plenty signed autographs and offered a heartfelt blessing during the Lane Frost documentary screening. He also joined the museum to see the Bridging Cultures exhibit as well as the performance regalia of Princess Blue Water, who, like Bring's Plenty, hailed from the Pine Ridge Reservation.
