I am grateful to call Ten Sleep, WY my home. I would like to acknowledge, first and foremost, that Ten Sleep rests on ground which was used by the Apsáalooke (Crow), Newe Sogobia (Eastern Shoshone), Tséstho’e (Cheyenne) and Očhéthi Šakówiᶇ for hunting, ceremonies, and as part of trade routes established throughout the state. I honor and appreciate the indigenous people who have the longest relationship to this place.
Legend has it that the name came from the town’s location: it took ten nights to get between it and other significant Native American Camps. It took me a lot of restless nights before I settled anywhere, but I quickly fell in love with the red dirt roads, fragrant sagebrush, and wide-open skies that surround us here. The land here offers its own solace to those seeking it. I’ve been here seven thousand sleeps now and am grateful for each one of them.
