Bass Reeves Western History Celebration

The history of the Old West in the Indian Territories is a vibrant tapestry that weaves together the narratives of a diverse range of brave men and women. Our mission is to uncover the overlooked stories of those who demonstrated courage, honor, and a commitment to justice, transcending social and racial divides amid challenging circumstances. Central to this exploration is U.S. Deputy Marshal Bass Reeves, whose legacy illuminates the lives of numerous unsung heroes and outlaws whose dedicated pursuit of law and justice profoundly impacts our nation’s identity and values today.
