Honoring Land, People, and Legacy

Arete Selected to Design the New Tribal Buffalo Center on the Wind River Reservation

Fort Washakie, Wyo. — The return of the buffalo to the Shoshone and Arapaho people represents more than a restoration of a species. It is an act of renewal for the land, the people, and generations to come. In recognition of this powerful movement, the Wind River Sage Fund has selected Arete Design Group to design the new Tribal Buffalo Center in Morton, Wyo. This project will serve as a cultural and educational landmark for the Wind River Reservation and beyond.

Arete Design Group, an architecture and design firm based in Sheridan, Wyo., was chosen from among 16 competing firms for its significant experience in the state and a vision that aligned with that of the Wind River Tribal Buffalo Initiative. Arete is partnering with MASS Design Group, an internationally recognized firm known for creating spaces that honor culture, history, and human connection. Arete and MASS will work closely with the tribes, the Wind River Tribal Buffalo Initiative, the Wind River Sage Fund, and the surrounding community to design a building that listens to the land and reflects the spirit of the buffalo.
