Honor & Access for the Local Communities
Wyoming’s Wind River Country contains the seventh-largest Indian reservation in the United States. Spanning over 2.2 million acres, the Wind River Indian Reservation is home to both the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes. This reservation, and the communities that care and protect it, only reside a few miles from Lander.
The climbing and local tribal communities intertwine, as we use and respect the same outdoor spaces.
Through this partnership, we believe in creating more opportunities and support for Tribal communities.
We believe education can help people build connections to places that have long held cultural and personal significance.
Annual Tribal Clinics
Every year during the International Climbers’ Festival, we plan climbing clinics to create and protect space for the tribal communities to come alongside the festival's objective of access and advocacy.
We are grateful for the tribal communities’ influence in what we do as an extension of WyoClimbers, ensuring our efforts are effective in enhancing our outdoor spaces throughout the rest of the year.
