KHEW News Staff | As of Oct. 13, 2026
Supaman’s Montana concert on the 2026 calendar for Oct. 26 is a benefit. The Apsáalooke (Crow) hip hop artist will emcee and headline Building Kaala’s Village on Monday, Oct. 26, at The ELM in Bozeman. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the show starts at 6, according to the event page from Logjam Presents, which is putting on the night with the Mountain Shadow Association.
The money and attention go to Kaala’s Village, a family healing center in Lodge Grass on the Crow Reservation. It’s built so parents in recovery from addiction don’t have to be separated from their kids.

The organizers say this is the event’s return. Their description says last year’s night drew “a sold-out response at the Rialto,” and that the move to The ELM makes room for more people. They also say the evening will include stories from parents in recovery, relatives teaching trades and the people building the project. The Bozone listing adds Indigenous-inspired food.
Who is Supaman?
Supaman is the stage name of Christian Parrish Takes the Gun, an Apsáalooke rapper and dancer who grew up in Crow Agency. His bio describes shows that mix Native culture, comedy and hip hop, and a 2018 interview in The MOON magazine describes him dancing in full regalia.
His official bio lists a 2017 MTV VMA award for “Best Fight Against the System” and a Native American Music Award. The same bio says he tours across the U.S. and internationally.
The organizers say the cause is personal for him. Their event description says he “knows firsthand the importance of keeping families together.” In a 2011 NPR profile, Supaman talked about growing up with parents who struggled with alcohol and spending time in foster care before he moved in with his grandfather.
What is Kaala’s Village?
Kaala’s Village is a family healing center for Apsáalooke families in Lodge Grass, run by the Native-led nonprofit Mountain Shadow Association. The project’s website says the name means “Grandmother’s Village.”
The idea is to keep families together during recovery. Parents work on getting well and learn construction trades, and their kids stay close by instead of going into foster care. The project’s website says it combines current treatment approaches with traditional ways and the knowledge of elders.
A few things are already on the record:
- KTVQ reported in December 2025 that construction was underway on the first building, part of a planned campus of about $5 million.
- In May, Native News Online reported that the Mountain Shadow Association received $150,000 over two years from the Montana Opioid Abatement Trust to add behavioral health care for parents and children.
- The project’s website says the group bought 13 acres within walking distance of the Lodge Grass high school.
Why it matters on the Hi-Line
Bozeman is close to 300 miles from Havre, and Oct. 26 is a Monday, so this one is a long trip for most KHEW listeners. The story still lands close to home.
Families at Rocky Boy know what addiction does to a household, and they know what it means when kids get pulled out of their community. Kaala’s Village is one Montana tribal community’s answer to that, and it’s built around its own culture and its own relatives. People here working on recovery and child welfare may want to keep an eye on how it goes.
It’s also a reminder of what Native music in Montana is used for. Supaman could fill a room anywhere. On Oct. 26 he’s using that pull to raise money and support for families on the Crow Reservation.
If you’re thinking about Indigenous work showing up in Bozeman this fall, KHEW News also covered Chippewa Cree designer Rebekah Jarvey’s part in the Museum of the Rockies fashion show on Montana’s first Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
