As part of of preparing a long-range economic development program for the Northern Cheyenne Tribe, specific projects were identified using various existing tribal assets and resources. The tribe’s Thunder Child property could be developed as a significant recreation adventure park given its relative proximity to U.S. Highway 90 which traverses the greater Sheridan (Wyoming) area bordering southern Montana.
