“Our community is large and wildly diverse, which is at the same time our strength and our weakness. #Activate10 is a movement seeking to increase communication between individuals and organizations across Fremont County and to promote positive action in our communities.”

(Morton, WY) – The Wind River Tribal Buffalo Initiative will host its annual Buffalo Bash, now in its third year, in conjunction with the 2025 Indigenous Peoples’ Day on October 13.

The event will take place from 5-9 PM at the Initiative headquarters Buffalo Camp (click here for directions), and will once again serve as a fundraiser for the Initiative. You can also donate directly to the Initiative here.

Attendees will get to enjoy a sunset buffalo tour, live music, food, speakers, and traditional games. Folks are also encouraged to bring a dish to share at the feast.
