Wind River Reservation

The Wind River Reservation is a land area in Wyoming designated for the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes. It covers about 2.2 million acres and is home to these Native American communities. The reservation serves as a cultural and administrative center, where residents maintain their traditions, languages, and governance. It also includes towns like Fort Washakie and Arapahoe, and offers resources such as schools, healthcare, and economic development opportunities while facing challenges related to infrastructure and socio-economic disparities. The reservation plays a key role in preserving Indigenous identity and sovereignty within the United States.
