Abstract
The 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.
