“Some of the best kept secrets are out there, thriving, where the prairie meets the mountains.”
– Ian Munsick, 2023

Encounter the powerful symbolism, stories, and timeless traditions of the Munsick and Bird families when you attend this Deluxe Tours & Toddies.

This Deluxe Tours & Toddies includes a screening of Ian Munsick’s White Buffalo: Voices of the West, produced by Caroline Munsick and Warner Music Nashville, followed by a viewing of the short film titled The Return, produced by Rylon Bird with Valley of the Chiefs Productions. Voices of the West explores the legacy of the Native American cowboy and the contemporary people who continue to work their land, while The Return complements these stories by exploring the intricate connections between humans and the landscapes, their daily experiences as well as historical connections.

Where William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody shared the west through his showmanship and activism for western causes; Munsick brings the message of the west to worldwide audiences through his award-winning music and documentary.

After the screenings, program attendees can participate in a Question-and-Answer session with a panel of individuals involved in the development of these films and the important stories they tell. The panel discussion invites audience members to contribute their questions and insights while offering a platform to recognize the integral role Native Americans have played in shaping cowboy traditions and culture.
