The following themes capture the essence and importance of the concepts that have emerged from the review of cultural landscapes on the Wind River Indian Reservation.

The theme is the plot of the movie or the moral of the story. It answers the questions, “So what? What is the big deal? Why care?” Themes are typically declarative, one-sentence statements. Without a theme, interpretation is random and Themes & Storylines often ineffective. Visitors remember more of the messages if they are thematic.

Built in 1871, the Block House is the oldest intact building that was constructed at the original Wind River Agency. Chief Washakie urged the construction of this defensive structure, and it provided a place of refuge to both Eastern Shoshone and non-Indians when Northern Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Sioux raiding parties attacked. The Block House was later used as a jail and then for storage. It currently stands empty. Image from the Wyoming State Archives.
