History of the Valley of the Three Worlds Oral History Project

The Valley of the Three Worlds project was conceived in the spring of 1985 to research, preserve, interpret and disseminate the history and cultural heritage of Wyoming’s Wind River Valley. Through a series of public programs, it sought to promote an understanding of the history, traditions and achievements of the Arapaho, Shoshone, and Euro-American cultures and the ways in which each has perceived and influenced the other. It was anticipated that the project would promote cross-cultural understanding and historical awareness and initiate further research and public programming while Wyoming was approaching its centennial celebration in 1990.

 Scope and Content

The collection contains oral history interviews and project files. The project files include a copy of the NEH grant application; photographs and slides; and background information about family histories, the Wind River Valley, and the reservation, including videotapes of silent films.

Access to the oral histories, transcripts, and other related materials in this collection requires written permission from the president of the Chief Washakie Foundation. Contact James Trosper at jtrosper@uwyo.edu for current information regarding whom to address correspondence and emails to.
