"This is a huge win for us. This is for the future. This is us being able to hold on to our culture and our legacy. I get emotional about it, because I just never thought it was going to happen," said Jordan Dresser, a former chairman of the Northern Arapaho tribe. He highlighted the emotional significance of repatriation and its importance in preserving the cultural identity of the tribe.
"We hope that their return is the beginning of reconciliation, healing and shared community between the Episcopal Church in Wyoming and the Northern Arapaho people," said Megan Nickles, chair of the standing committee. This statement reflects the church's commitment to fostering a positive relationship with the tribe post-repatriation.
