Doyle’s presentation focuses on the history and culture of the Crow Tribe, the cultural significance of the Gallatin Valley area to his people, and contemporary issues that face the tribe today. Doyle grew up in Crow Agency, Montana and is an enrolled member of the Crow Tribe. He attended school there and also at Montana State University-Bozeman, completing a BS in Elementary Education, an MS in Native American Studies, and an EdD in Education, Curriculum and Instruction. Doyle was an adjunct professor at MSU in both the Native American Studies and Education Department. He also works as an education and cultural consultant for numerous schools and groups, including the Smithsonian, Montana Office of Public Instruction, and the National Park Service. Doyle also serves as a tribal liaison in a recent collaborative effort with Dr. Eske Willerslev and the Center for Geogenetics, in Copenhagen, Denmark. This is in response to the recent DNA analysis of a young boy found in 1968 who was buried 12,600 years ago near present-day Wilsall, Montana.
