Tribal leaders and tribal advocates are at the University of Wyoming for the Building Tribal Nations conference.
Speakers include Eastern Shoshone council member Wes Martel, activist LaDonna Harris and attorney Walter Echo-Hawk. They discussed sovereignty, education and economic development at the opening session on Monday.
