Help Wyoming Native American communities tell their own stories

We hired a reporter, Chris Aadland, who is based in Riverton and whose sole job is to write about the Wind River Reservation. Chris is the state’s only daily newspaper reporter whose entire job is to tell the tribes’ stories.

We were able to bring Chris on board because of Report for America, a nonprofit committed to giving local newsrooms the ability to tell the stories of communities that are often ignored. They helped us find Chris — a writer of Native American heritage with a passion for covering these communities — and are helping pay for the cost of staffing him.
