Fire engulfing historic ranch
AUGUST 16, 2000
A fire on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming has burned 80,000 acres of the historic Arapahoe Ranch,
which provides income to the tribes
and is used by tribal members for
ranch and farm training.
The tribes on the reservation may have to
sell some of their cattle to recoup losses
incurred as a result of the fire. It
has burned about 25 percent of the
368,000-acre ranch. Get the Story:
