The Native American Indian Committee is one of the smallest and most unique Cheyenne Frontier Days' committees. The Chairman, Lead Assistants, coordinators and volunteers support six standing sub-committees: Native Americans/Education, Pancake Breakfast, Vendors, Village, Royalty, and Social Activities.
The Indian Committee has several areas of responsibility. One of its primary responsibilities is the maintenance, improvement, and operation of the Indian Village located at the southeast corner of Frontier Park. The Committee is constantly working to improve the functionality and appearance of the Village. During Frontier Days, the Village is a hub of free public entertainment -- from vendors, kids' crafts and free educational demonstrations, to numerous dance, flute and story-telling performances each day. Committee volunteers arrange for all the entertainment and vendors, and are on hand each day to host the activities.
The Committee also partners with the Cheyenne Kiwanis Club and the City of Cheyenne to plan, organize, and supervise the free Pancake Breakfasts held downtown at the Depot Plaza on Monday, Wednesday and Friday during Frontier Days. Over 30,000 people will enjoy pancakes, ham and down-home entertainment during the three breakfasts.
Last, but not least, the Committee supports the Cheyenne Frontier Days' royalty --Miss Frontier and her Lady-in-Waiting. The Royalty Coordinator and volunteers assist with the public relations/marketing trips, media functions, and public appearances these remarkable young women attend during their reign.
The Native American Indian Committee is an integral part of the western celebration we call the "Daddy of 'Em All", Cheyenne Frontier Days. The Committee is family oriented and consists of volunteers from various walks of life, all working toward making Cheyenne Frontier Days the best large outdoor rodeo in America.
