Wyoming tribes lose major ruling in reservation boundary case

A federal appeals court has dealt a huge blow to two tribes as part of a long-simmering dispute over the boundaries of their reservation in Wyoming.

By a 2-1 vote, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday held that Congress diminished the Wind River Reservation in 1905. The majority on a three-judge panel said it was clear that the boundaries were altered when the home of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe and the Northern Arapaho Tribe was opened to non-Indian settlement.
