Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Wind River Indian Needs Determination Survey (1998) replicated information collected in 1987 among Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming. The new survey allowed researchers to compare conditions on the Wind River Reservation in 1987 with those in place ten years later. The new survey also offered an opportunity to expand on some issues. The survey included education, employment, health, housing, and safety. The 1998 survey was a joint effort by the Joint Business Council of the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Indian Health Service, various Wyoming State agencies, the University of Wyoming, and Johns Hopkins University.
