US Military History
From 1865 to 1945, the American military experienced unprecedented growth in manpower, machinery, technology, and international influence. In this short period of time, it transitioned from mounted soldiers to pressurized, multi engine bombers capable of flying at 35,000 feet and dropping nuclear weapons.
Starting in the Civil War, the introduction of ethnic minorities serving in a once predominantly all white military became more common. In 1866, the U.S. Army enlisted the service of Native American Scouts who were active in the American West in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Native Americans were also enlisted in Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders and saw action in Cuba in the Spanish-American War in 1898. Over 12,000 American Indians served in the United States military during World War I. World War II saw more than 44,000 American Indians serving in the U.S. military, out of a total Native American population of less than 350,000, in both European and Pacific theaters of war. This is nearly five times the national average per population.
Wind River Indian Reservation History
Originally known as the Shoshone Indian Reservation, the Wind River Indian Reservation was established by agreement of the United States with the Eastern Shoshone Nation at the Fort Bridger Treaty Council of 1868. In 1872, the Shoshone agreed to sell part of the reservation to the U.S., establishing the North Fork of the Popo Agie River as a southern border.[12]
A later settlement and land transaction after United States v. Shoshone Tribe of Indians gave the Arapaho legal claim to the reservation, which was renamed the Wind River Indian Reservation.
In 1871, the current site of Fort Washakie was created. However, it was not called this until 1878. The name was given to honor United States ally and Shoshone Chief Washakie. The fort continued to serve as a military post until the US abandoned it in 1909.[13] By that time, a community had developed around the fort.
Sacagawea, a guide with the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-06, was later interred here. Her son Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, who was a child on the expedition, has a memorial stone in Fort Washakie but was interred in Danner, Oregon.
St. Michael's at Ethete was constructed in 1917–1920. The village of Arapahoe was originally established as a US sub-agency to distribute rations to the Arapaho.
In 1904 the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho ceded a portion of the reservation north of the Wind River to the United States and opened to white settlement.[14] The Riverton Reclamation Project and the city of Riverton developed on some of this land.
