A Public Charity Honoring Northern Cheyenne Elders
Learn MoreAt Soaring Eagle, our primary focus is to help Northern Cheyenne Elders carry on their traditions and continue to teach those traditions to younger generations. We have constructed an assisted living facility in the rolling hills grasslands of Montana, in the heart of the Tongue River Valley. The Heritage Living Center provides a comfortable residence for those elders who might otherwise have had to leave their community and relocate to nursing homes hundreds of miles away.

The Northern Cheyenne are a proud people and once-fierce warriors who streamed across the Great Plains. Their cultural heritage is a rich one, with many of the stories held in the hearts and minds of the tribe’s elders.
Father Emmett
In the mid 1950s, Father Emmett Hoffmann was sent to southeastern Montana to the little-known St. Labre Mission. What he found were people living in heart-wrenching poverty. For more than 40 years, Father Emmett ministered to the people of St. Labre while working to raise awareness and funds for the Northern Cheyenne people. His fundraising work led to the building of schools, homes and churches as well as to the creation of safe water systems.
