Natosi Tipi Village and Campgrounds provides rustic accommodations for visitors, especially those attending an evening event (i.e. a play or concert) so they may stay immersed in the old world setting and avoid a nighttime drive home. A strong element of Avery Townships’s appeal is that you can attend a cultural event and then walk to your tipi or tent.
As a young Indian growing up on the Blackfeet Reservation, Avery Paisley (d. 1997, father and grandfather of the Paisleys building Avery Township) would stay in the summer tipi encampments that have always been one of the Blackfeet’s most important traditions. The Blackfeet, who live in a part of Montana that sees the nicest summers and the coldest winters in the U.S., say that “summer is heaven, winter is hell.” Natosi Tipi Village is fashioned after these encampments and the name Natosi (which means sun) reflects that in summertime, this place is heaven. What better place to dream?
