Ethete Wood Yard (near Little Wind Casino

The Wind River Community Alliance was honored to participate in the harvest of nearly 300 tipi poles alongside community members, families, elders, and youth. Some of these poles will be used during the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn.

This effort represented more than gathering materials from the forest. It was an opportunity for young people to learn from elders, connect with the land, and experience firsthand the traditions and values that have been passed down through generations. The harvest was carried out with purpose, gratitude, and respect, recognizing the responsibility that comes with taking from the earth.

The poles gathered will help create spaces where stories are shared, prayers are offered, and communities come together. Experiences like this remind us that culture is sustained not only through ceremonies and celebrations, but also through the work we do together and our relationship with the land.

At Wind River Community Alliance, we believe investing in our youth is essential to preserving our culture and strengthening our communities. By participating in traditions such as the tipi pole harvest, young people gain knowledge, build connections, and carry forward the teachings of their ancestors.

We are grateful for the opportunity to support this important effort and to stand alongside those who continue to honor the traditions, values, and wisdom of the generations who came before us while inspiring those who will lead the way forward.

✨ Tuesday Thoughts from WRCA ✨

Progress doesn’t always happen loudly.
Sometimes it looks like showing up, staying committed, building relationships, and continuing the work even when no one sees the effort behind the scenes.

At WRCA, we believe community transformation begins with compassion, consistency, and people willing to invest in one another. Every conversation, every act of service, and every opportunity to uplift someone matters.

As we move through this week, may we continue to lead with purpose, serve with integrity, and create pathways for hope and opportunity.

This past Saturday, we were honored to be part of the Teton Powwow, sharing in a beautiful celebration of culture, community, artistry, and connection. The Wind River Community Alliance and our Wind River Artists Collective were proud to have a presence at the event, where we connected with attendees, showcased Native art work and our wonderful artists, and celebrated the strength and vibrancy of Indigenous traditions.

From meaningful conversations to the incredible music, dancing, and community spirit throughout the day, the Powwow was a powerful reminder of the importance of honoring Native voices, heritage, and creativity. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, supported local vendors, and helped make the event such a welcoming and inspiring experience.




We are grateful to stand alongside the community and look forward to continuing to build relationships and celebrate culture together.
