To better understand current conditions of the Big Wind River, the Greater Yellowstone Coalition is facilitating connections among researchers, Tribal partners, and Tribal members to explore the development of a plant and hydrology study grounded in the Traditional Ecological Knowledge of the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho Tribes. In mid-September, nearly 30 participants – including Tribal partners, community members, university researchers, and conservation partners – joined a two-day tour of the Wind River corridor to strengthen relationships, explore ecological conditions, and refine collaborative research priorities that honor and align with Tribal interests.
