Description
The wind river indigenous-based economy recompete plan, led by the wind river development fund, is leading a coalition to strategize reinvigoration of an indigenous-led, ECO-tourism economy covering the wind river reservation and fremont county, wyoming. Persistent poverty and a lack of access to capital have kept tribal members and businesses from creating living wage jobs. To tackle these barriers, the coalition proposes holistic investments in ecotourism, cultural preservation, workforce development, native agriculture, health care expansion, and land sovereignty. These strategies aim to create new growth opportunities by accessing the robust tourism industry in nearby yellowstone national park and have potential to leverage millions of dollars in investment funds and grants.
