Warm Valley Historical Project

The Warm Valley Historical Project, conducted in coordination with the Shoshone Episcopal Mission, sought oral histories regarding Wind River Indian Reservation life during the early 1900s. Dr. Sharon Kahin, project director, and other research assistants interviewed elderly tribal members who had resided at the reservation in Wyoming during that time. Interviews were conducted in 1990-1991. The project also catalogued and indexed or transcribed interviews completed in 1986-1987 for the Valley of Three Worlds Project. Research material focused on turn-of-the-century reservation life, Indian experience with the Great Depression, boarding schools, traditional crafts and therapies, employment opportunities, reservation ranching, dude ranching, farming, language use, etc.
