Central Wyoming College Plans To Start Program To Develop Tribal Leaders

Central Wyoming College

 

Central Wyoming College in Riverton sits in a very unique spot in the state: right next door to the Wind River Indian Reservation. Many of its students are Native American. But now, the school is stepping up to do even more for the tribal community and are well underway in designing a program to educate future Native leaders.

But that’s not all the Institute for Tribal Leadership will do. Wyoming Public Radio's Melodie Edwards talked with CWC president Brad Tindall and the college’s Tribal Education Coordinator, Ivan Posey, about their plans.

Melodie Edwards is the host and producer of WPM's award-winning podcast The Modern West. Her Ghost Town(ing) series looks at rural despair and resilience through the lens of her hometown of Walden, Colorado. She has been a radio reporter at WPM since 2013, covering topics from wildlife to Native American issues to agriculture.
