Join us for a journey down memory lane and let’s celebrate all we did together for the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.

Over two brilliant fall days in October, almost 100 people came together in Jackson, Wyoming for the Jackson Hole InterTribal Gathering – a follow up to the Wind River Inter-Tribal Gathering GYC co-hosted with the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho Tribes in 2022. More than 14 Tribal Nations met with a host of federal agencies and non-governmental organizations to bring further discussion to the management of federal lands and how Indigenous values and beliefs can merge into stewardship of lands that were once aboriginal homelands to many Tribes and Bands.

One year ago, the Inter-Tribal Gathering brought together people to elevate native voices throughout Greater Yellowstone and build better government-to-government relationships between Tribes and America’s federal public lands managers. Since the event, GYC has made big strides in protecting and restoring Native conservation priorities.

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.
