Grant Overview
Wyoming's rangelands have been at the center of land use disputes for decades, with tensions between ranching interests and Native American communities remaining a persistent challenge. The state's unique history of land ownership and management has contributed to these tensions, with the legacy of historical grievances continuing to impact contemporary land use decisions. According to a recent study, over 60% of Wyoming's land is managed by federal or state agencies, with Native American reservations making up a significant portion of the state's land area.
Target Outcomes in Wyoming
The Rangeland Justice Initiative aims to examine the historical context of these land use disputes, shedding light on the complex and often contentious history of land management in the state. By supporting research and publication of findings, the grant will help to promote a deeper understanding of the historical grievances that continue to shape contemporary land use decisions. The primary outcome of this project will be a comprehensive report on the historical context of land use disputes in Wyoming, with recommendations for policymakers and tribal leaders.
Why These Outcomes Matter in Wyoming
Understanding the historical context of land use disputes is critical to addressing the ongoing tensions between ranching interests and Native American communities. By examining the complex history of land ownership and management in Wyoming, the Rangeland Justice Initiative will help to identify potential solutions to these longstanding disputes. The state's significant Native American population, with 13 reservations and communities, makes it an ideal location for this type of research, with the potential to shed new light on the historical grievances that continue to impact contemporary land use decisions.
Wyoming's Frontier Counties and Land Use Dynamics
The grant will support research and publication of findings through collaborations with tribal nations and land grant universities. Successful applicants will be those who can demonstrate a clear understanding of Wyoming's complex land use dynamics and a plan for working with tribal communities to identify and address historical grievances. Unlike neighboring Colorado, Wyoming requires demonstration of extreme rural delivery capacity due to frontier county designation, making it essential for applicants to show evidence of existing relationships with rural communities and tribal nations.
