The Chief Washakie Foundation has established an endowment fund the Zedora Teton Enos Excellence Fund at the University of Wyoming that benefits the Wind River Indian Reservation community.
“I wanted to see this endowment created because of a passion for education and being an entrepreneur, and to help others know that they can get out and do something,” says Shoshone elder and entrepreneur Zedora Teton Enos, the fund’s namesake and great-granddaughter of Chief Washakie. “At the beginning, I wanted to set an example and set a good example and let others know what we can do. I want our people to know that they can roll up their sleeves and do something for themselves.”
