Tribes fundraising to send Wyo. group to inaugural

Posted 1/14/13

RIVERTON, Wyo. — The Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes are raising money to try to send a group to Washington, D.C. to represent Wyoming in next week's inaugural parade.

Northern Arapaho tribal liaison Gary Collins says the Presidential Inaugural Committee recently contacted him about getting a Wyoming delegation to participate in the Jan. 21 parade. He said he contacted the tribes to put together the Wind River Dancers.

Collins told The (Riverton) Ranger (http://bit.ly/VZWthC) that they need to raise $35,000 to send between 10 and 15 people to Washington. An account has been set up at Atlantic City Federal Credit Union.
