For his part, Brings Plenty said he’s “truly looking forward” to joining the Teton Ridge team. “My biggest drive is to be a positive factor and help support what Teton Ridge has set out to do in shedding light on western heritage,” he said. “I look ahead to incorporating American Indian culture more into every avenue of this industry — we have a lot of cowboys and cowgirls accomplishing great things. Our culture is really parallel to the cowboy culture, so bridging those together and celebrating their stories side-by-side is my biggest goal.”

After hosting Mo at many of our events and watching him build long-standing, impactful relationships across the industry — all while educating and bringing much-needed perspective to the table — it was quite obvious that his playing a larger role was imperative in paving the way for the future of Teton Ridge and the industry at large.”
