Making Sense of Work on the Wind River Indian Reservation
Massey, Garth M.
American Indian Quarterly, v28 n3&4 p786-816 Sum&Fall 2004
The cycle of employment and unemployment among Indians living on the Wind River Indian Reservation (WRIR), a two-million-acre reservation in west central Wyoming, is examined. Five areas of inquiry are analyzed quantitatively: the structure of employment and unemployment, contributing factors to unemployment, obstacles to re-employment, responses to unemployment, and coping strategies. The roles of job training and education are also explored. (Includes 3 tables.)
