foreword III yearbook of the ui Well now, boys, let me tell you about Chief Spotted Horse. I ' m telling ya, he was a real MAN. Once he was riding ... And so another tale is spun as a group sits around the flickering campfire under the clear, starlit sky in the quiet of a Wyoming night. When Wyoming was young, the settlers were harassed by In- dians. But the days of the marauding Indian bands have long since passed. Tribes who once inhabited the territory included the Crow, Sioux, Shoshone, Cheyenne, Blackfeet, Flathead, Arapaho, Nez Perces, Kiowa, Ute, and Gros Ventres. Where once the Redmen had the whole state to roam in, they are now confined to their reservational areas, such as the Shoshones and Arapahoes in central Wyoming. The first have given their name to the reservation, as well as to a town, a river, and a national forest. Washakie County and Na- tional Forest are named for a famous Shoshone chief. Speaking of Indian place names, the state name itself is Indian. Wyoming is a Del- aware Indian tribe word, Waumic or Muchuwaumic, meaning end of plains . Indian names abound in Wyoming. Many rivers and creeks were named by the Red- men, such as: Wind River, Popo Agie, Yampa, Pasup Creek, Badwater Creek, and Pow- der River. Uinta and Niobrara counties are names taken from the Ute language. Meteetse, Ethete, Greybull, Sundance, Tensleep, and Crowheart are examples of towns that have derived their names from Indian origins. Togwotee Pass, Inyan Kara, Plenty Coos Peak, the Tetons, and Squaw Mountain are land features which date back to Indian times. The days of the Indians are gone, yes, but the memory of the Redmen does not die and the people of the State of Wyoming are indebted to the Indians for helping to shape the history of this great state.
