Examining committee chair: Lori HagerThe purpose of this project is to develop a cultural mural arts program on the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming. The goal of the mural arts program is to connect three historically divided tribal communities, Arapahoe, Ethete and Fort Washakie. These communities are divided by geographical, social, environmental, political and cultural barriers. As a member of the Wind River Indian Reservation, I have personally experienced the effects of this division and will use this research project to foster positive youth development and social change for elementary students.en-USWind River Indian Reservation (Wyo.)Positive youth developmentPositive social changeCommunity buildingAfter-school programsSummer arts programsIndian artsArts educationArts -- Study and teachingCommunity membersSchool district membersTribal leadersIndian mural painting and decorationOther
