Shoshone Peoples and Their Traditional Foods

“Shoshone Peoples and Their Traditional Foods” Saturday, June 21 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The Dubois Museum is excited to have Michial Garvin, Traditional Education Coordinator of the Eastern Shoshone Tribal Health Office and a member of the Eastern Shoshone join us this summer.  He will talk about the natural resources of the Wind River country and their traditional uses by the Shoshone peoples, their connection to their land, and their traditional foods. Michial has been featured in the documentary “Sheep Eaters- Life in the Mountains.” Born in 1955, he has been collecting natural supplies for the past 30 years.  He learned from his grandmother and other Shoshone elders.  Today he practices traditional food and harvesting and processing plants. 

This is part of the Wyoming Community Bank Discovery Speakers Series.  Call the Dubois Museum at 307-455-2284 to join us.

This program is free and open to the public.
