Has the author of either of these articles contacted The Eastern Shoshone Office Of Attorney General, or the attorney’s for the Northern Arapaho Tribe for comment?
Has anyone from the media contacted the Eastern Shoshone Tribe or the Northern Arapaho Tribes busines council for comment. No. They can not comment on a case that is litigation. But I cant wait for a responce from Orville and Wes on this one.
