Wyoming Indian Schools represent a dynamic and culturally-integrated community effort. In an atmosphere of mutual understanding and awareness, the district has earned the respect of the community. Its strength is in its concern for students, who must be proficient in an ever-changing world economy without losing the substance of a proud tradition and community values. Historically, the Shoshone and Arapaho people learned in a nontraditional manner-- they did not read or write. Functional education was passed on as a hands-on experience from mothers, fathers, uncles, aunts and grandparents. Meaning, purpose and values were transmitted orally through story telling-- the purview of the tribal elders.
