FAQ
Where will tribal members be staying?
We have reserved family-style cabins at Mahoney State Park as well as hotel-style rooms in the Peter Kiewit Lodge for elders and/or individuals needing accessibility accommodations. Cabins sleep 2-6 people and have a kitchen. Lodge rooms are basically hotel rooms inside a large lodge building that has a restaurant. Both locations have ample parking. Check into your lodging at the Peter Kiewit Lodge. There is a grocery store and gas stations nearby in Ashland, Neb.
Where are the events?
Most of the events will take place in the Crete Carrier Riverview Lodge at Mahoney State Park.
State Park entry
You are required to display a state park pass while at Mahoney State Park. Day passes are $7 for Nebraska state residents. Otoe-Missouria tribal members should tell the gate attendant that they are with the Tribe (the project will cover your entry fee).
