The need to affirm and revitalize cultural knowledge of native plant communities is impera-tive for Indigenous people. This ethnobotanical study documents Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) structured from an Indigenous paradigm by exploring the connection be-tween plants collected in two high-elevation basins and tribal members on the Wind River Indian Reservation (WRIR). We sought to qualitatively understand the plant resources by looking through the lens of Indigenous language and perspectives. Existing names of the ba-sin plants in both the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho languages were compiled through an ethnobotanical literature review, seven in-person interviews with Eastern Sho-shone and Northern Arapaho tribal members, and attendance at language workshops. We documented 53 Eastern Shoshone and 44 Northern Arapaho plant names, respectively. His-torical impacts of past Federal Indian policy eras have shaped TEK as it currently exists within tribal communities. Both tribes used and had Indigenous names for Northern sweetgrass (Hierochloe hirta ssp. hirta), bitterroot (Lewisia rediviva), junipers (Juniperus ssp.), and bear-berry or Kinnikinnick (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi). The resiliency of TEK is attributed to the perse-verance of Indigenous people continuing to practice and teach traditions. The historical con-text specific to both the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes and their languages are important for enhancing our current understanding of the ethnobotanical TEK of plants on the WRIR. Recognizing the value of ethnobotanical TEK and incorporating it into natural resource management plans and decisions can bridge diverse perspectives on land use for meaningful collaboration with tribal communities.

肖肖尼东部和阿拉帕霍北部传统生态知识（ETK）和风植物保留牧场的民族植物学

肯定和振兴本土植物群落的文化知识对于土著人民而言是当务之急。这项民族植物学研究通过探索在两个高海拔盆地中收集的植物与风河印度保留地（WRIR）上的部落成员之间的联系，记录了由土著范式构成的传统生态知识（TEK）。我们试图通过土著语言和视角来定性地了解植物资源。通过族裔植物学文献综述，对东肖肖尼人和北阿拉帕霍人部落成员的七次面谈以及参加语言研讨会，汇编了东肖肖尼人和北阿拉帕霍人语中的浅色植物的现有名称。我们记录了53个东部肖肖尼人和44个北部阿拉帕霍人的工厂名称，分别。过去的联邦印度政策时代的历史性影响影响了TEK，因为它目前存在于部落社区中。两个部落都使用过北方香茅（Hierochloe hirta ssp。hirta），苦根（Lewisia rediviva），杜松（Juniperus ssp。）和熊莓或Kinnikinnick（Arctostaphylos uva-ursi）的土著名称。TEK的复原力归因于继续练习和教授传统的土著人民的坚韧不拔。东肖肖尼人部落和北阿拉帕霍部落以及它们的语言所特有的历史背景对于增强我们目前对WRIR上植物的植物学TEK的理解非常重要。
