Bear River Boa Ogoi: the River is Life explores how the Bear River is the source of life for Northwestern Shoshone peoples, representing their physical, cultural, and spiritual experiences both in the past and today. This project, completed in partnership with the Northwestern Band of Shoshone Nation, will engage you with their historical and contemporary water stories.
