Historical NoteReturn to Top
The Warm Valley Historical Project, funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, was conducted in coordination with the Shoshone Episcopal Mission. The project sought oral histories regarding Wind River Indian Reservation life during the early 1900s. Dr. Sharon M. Kahin of Dubois, Wyoming, Dr. Anne Slater, and other research assistants interviewed tribal members who had resided at the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming during that time. Some of the interviews were conducted in order to gather information related to certain historic photo images, slides of which are included in the collection. Interviews for the project were conducted in 1990-1991. The project also catalogued and indexed or transcribed interviews completed in 1986-1987 for the Valley of Three Worlds Project. Research material focused on turn-of-the-century reservation life, Indian experience with the Great Depression, boarding schools, traditional crafts and therapies, employment opportunities, reservation ranching, dude ranching, farming, language use, etc. Though the project focused on Eastern Shoshone perspectives and memories, interviews were also conducted with Arapaho tribal members and several interviews from the Valley of Three Worlds Project included non-Indian prospectors, business owners, and teachers.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
The Warm Valley Historical Project collection includes the application submitted for the National Endowment for the Humanities grant describing the project and the resumes of its project directors. The bulk of the collection is the cassette tapes of interviews with tribal members and interview transcripts, notes, and short biographies on many of the individuals. Dr. Sharon Kahin, project director, and Dr. Anne Slater conducted most of the interviews. There are also exhibit catalogs for the two traveling photo exhibits produced by the project as well as a selection of slides. It is unclear whether the slides go along entirely with the photo exhibit or if they were all used to gather information as described in the history section above. The project also assembled and indexed data collected from the earlier Valley of Three Worlds Project. Many interviews from that project were conducted by Susan Crazy Thunder and others and were indexed by Dr. Kahin.
