Eastern Shoshone Tribe Fort Washakie
The Eastern Shoshone Tribe, now living on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming, has been living, some say, in the Wind River mountain range and its environs for some 12,000 years. Recently discovered ancient cliff dwellings, attributed to Eastern Shoshone builders, in the Wind River Mountains are evidence of just how long the Shoshone Tribe has dwelled and hunted in these lands. By the early 1800s, the Eastern Shoshone band ranged along the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains from southwestern Wyoming to southwestern Montana. In the 1860s, the band camped for most of the year in the Wind River Valley, which the Shoshones call "Warm Valley," moving to the Fort Bridger area in Wyoming for the summer months.

Washakie - Last Chief of the Eastern Shoshone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm4vcpHkGNo From his birth in the Bitterroot Mountains among the Salish Tribe, to his exploits as a warrior with the Lemhi Shoshone and Bannocks, Washakie was recognized early as an extraordinary person. But he made his historical claim to greatness in the second half of the 19th century, as chief of the Eastern Shoshone. For lesson plans, visit http://windriveredu.org/wes.

WY State Parks Geology Pamphlets
Buffalo Bill State Park is the latest spotlighted in a series of information pamphlets about geology in Wyoming’s state parks. The Wyoming State Geological Survey’s (WSGS) goal with the series is to help park visitors learn about the geology around them.
“This series offers snapshots of the fascinating geologic features and processes unique to each state park,” says WSGS Director, Dr. Erin Campbell. “Buffalo Bill State Park is no exception. The landscape tells a story depicting billions of years of Earth’s history.”
Buffalo Bill State Park sits east of the Absaroka Range in the northwestern part of the state. Geologic features in the area include the Great Unconformity, a dormant volcanic field, and the world’s largest known ancient landslide.
Buffalo Bill Reservoir—situated in the center of the park—is fed by the North and South forks of the Shoshone River. Both forks flow from the Absaroka Range and provide nearly all of the water in the reservoir.
Other information pamphlets available in the series are Glendo, Edness K. Wilkins, Bear River, Keyhole, Guernsey, Seminoe, and Curt Gowdy. Pamphlets are free and are available at the WSGS office on the University of Wyoming campus in Laramie and at park visitor centers. Pamphlets can also be downloaded from the WSGS sales website.
