LANDER, Wyo. – Wyoming held Democratic caucuses on Saturday, March 8. One caucus site was in Lander, a town on the border of the Wind River Indian Reservation, home of the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes. More than 500 people attended the caucus.

Tetona Dunlap, who edited the video, is a member of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe from the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming. She graduated from Creighton University in Omaha, Neb., with a B.A. in journalism in 2004. Dunlap works at The Kansas City Star as a photographer and videographer.

Jordan Dresser, Northern Arapaho, is a senior at the University of Wyoming in Laramie. He is a graduate of the Freedom Forum's American Indian Journalism Institute and a Chips Quinn Scholar. Dresser has had summer internships as a reporter at the Lincoln (Neb.) Journal Star, the Fargo (N.D.) Forum and the Salt Lake City Tribune under the Chips Quinn Scholars Program. This summer, he will intern as a feature reporter at The Denver Post.
