Keepers of the FireKeepers of the Fire

In 1971 the American Indian students attending the University of Wyoming founded the Keepers of the Fire. They recognized the need to preserve and promote cultural diversity on the University campus. The name, Keepers of the Fire has a very special meaning. It is meant to imply that the "fire" of Indian culture must be protected and kept by those who value its worth. We are dedicated to promoting our heritage and culture through activities such as the Annual Spring Pow-wow. We sponsor activities that provide information about our people to those that are not familiar with American Indian culture.
