GREATER YELLOWSTONE COALITION

Tribal conservation priorities & partnerships gyc recognizes the western conservation movement has historically excluded and ignored diverse voices and perspectives, especially those of indigenous people. Gyc seeks to change this paradigm by working within strategic partnerships and tribal-centered programs to honor indigenous conservation priorities, advance tribal rights, and return indigenous ecosystem management practices to the landscape. This includes revitalizing the big wind river, building capacity within tribal communities by investing in indigenous leadership, and expanding the cultural and ecological restoration of buffalo. Gycs indigenous staff members lead this work from theorganizations office on the wind river indian reservation in wyoming.
