The Wind River Water and Buffalo Alliance is seeking a graphic artist for the development of a project logo. The Wind River Water and Buffalo Alliance is a coalition of Tribal agencies, Tribal councils, and non-profit organizations working to advance conservation and protect the Indigenous way of life.

In late 2023, the Wind River Indian Reservation, the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho Tribes, and the Greater Yellowstone Coalition received a $619,500 grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) and through its America the Beautiful Challenge.

For three days in September, the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, in collaboration with several partners, hosted a land-based Indigenous Youth Climate and Culture Camp in Morton, Wyoming, at the Eastern Shoshone Buffalo Herd pasture. In total, over 100 students from Wyoming Indian Elementary, Middle, and High Schools arrived amongst the buffalo and traipsed through knee-high sagebrush to lessons facilitated by cultural knowledge-keepers, scientists, educators, and others.

Guest blogger Darren Calhoun writes on the devastating effects of Diversion Dam on the Big Wind River and what can be done to help this river heal.

As a part of GYC’s Tribal work, we’re gathering people together to dive into impactful stories, photos, and film that showcase the social, economic, and cultural injustices against Indigenous People.

On March 1, 2022, the virtual Inter-Tribal Gathering commemorated the 150th Anniversary of Yellowstone National Park. The intent was not only to pay respect to the significance of Yellowstone as the flagship of landscape conservation, but also to elevate Indigenous people’s connection to this treasured landscape that have existed for millennia.

GYC will support the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho Tribes of the Wind River Reservation in gathering people online to commemorate the park’s anniversary while elevating the Tribal community’s voice in conserving and managing Yellowstone.
