Gift of the Waters Historic Indian Pageant
The "Gift Of The Waters" is a Historic Indian Pageant held in Thermopolis, Wyoming. The first weekend in August every year. Singing, dancing, "The Lord's Prayer" in Native sign language, and a moving scene where an archer sends an arrow to the heavens make up this memorable ceremony. In 1897, Shoshone Chief Washakie entered into an agreement with the U.S. Government to sell a ten-mile square of land surrounding the Big Horn Hot Spring (now known as the "Big Spring"). This is not a reenactment but a Pageant written by Marie Montabe, based on this event: a beautiful celebration of music, dance, and camaraderie between two nations.
