This reservation is home to the Shoshone and Arapahoe tribes. Tourists who arrive in the Wind River area while either of the tribes’s sun dances are in progress may stop to watch. The sun dance is a form of sacrifice, as the dancers neither eat nor drink during the three day ceremony. These dances are held during the summer months. The Arapahoes also have a Pow-Wow each summer during which numerous tribes compete in costume performing their traditional dances. Cameras and tape recorders are not allowed.
