Summary
Hundreds gathered at Madison Buffalo Jump State Park for the annual Kite Festival—a vibrant celebration blending ancient tradition, mindfulness, and Indigenous culture. Started 14 years ago by kite expert Terry Zee Lee, the event transforms skyward flight into a meditative practice and gateway to early scientific discovery. Kites, once tools for weather study, now unite communities across backgrounds, especially highlighting Native American heritage through vendors, food, and speakers like Anishinaabe artist Louise Ogemahgeshig Fischer, who shared precolonial roots of kite flying. Lee’s lifelong mission includes teaching kite-building on every Montana reservation and her “Flying Buffalo Project,” featuring giant kites with Indigenous art displayed at historic sites. This year’s festival set a record—with more kites than ever soaring above, proving that simple string and wind can carry profound connection.
