From Earth to Sky:
Eastern Shoshone Way
A Living Cultural Home Rooted in Tradition, Designed for the Future
From Earth to Sky: Eastern Shoshone Way is more than a museum — it’s an immersive cultural experience that honors the past and builds for the future. This visionary Cultural Hub will serve as a central gathering space on the Wind River Reservation, reflecting the richness of Shoshone identity and the deep connections between land, story, and community.
​
The Hub will house interactive exhibitions shaped by Tribal voices and contemporary artists, alongside seasonal events, traditional foods, language classes, and arts workshops. It will also bring together four essential Tribal departments currently operating in separate, inadequate facilities:
-
Archives – Preserving oral histories, documents, and photographs with proper environmental controls and digital access.
-
Cultural Education Center – Offering hands-on learning, traditional arts, language revitalization, and youth programs.
-
Tribal Historic Preservation Office – Protecting and interpreting culturally significant sites and artifacts.
-
Enrollment Office – Centralizing genealogical services and community records with dignity and care.
Rooted in traditional values and built for the next generation, the Cultural Hub will feature sustainable design including solar power, native landscaping, water conservation, and a community garden. From Earth to Sky represents a bold step in cultural revitalization, resilience, and self-determination for the Eastern Shoshone people.

Why this Matters
For centuries, the Eastern Shoshone people have endured the devastating impacts of colonization, forced relocation, cultural erasure, and economic marginalization. Our stories were silenced, our lands divided, and our ways of life threatened.
​
And yet—we are still here.
​
Through every hardship, the Eastern Shoshone people have shown unwavering strength, courage, and resilience. Our language lives on. Our traditions continue. Our elders still pass wisdom to our youth.
The Eastern Shoshone Museum and Cultural Hub is a symbol of that resilience—a place where we reclaim our narratives, revitalize our culture, and create new opportunities for healing, learning, and connection. It is where our people can gather, grow, and thrive—on our own terms.
Your support helps build not just a facility, but a future rooted in sovereignty, community, and pride.
We're just getting started—help us build a legacy for generations.
​
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we’ve raised $600,000 toward our $20 million goal to bring the Cultural Hub to life. Every gift brings us one step closer to opening the doors of a space rooted in healing, storytelling, and Shoshone self-determination.
