Jordan Dresser

Jordan Dresser is a member of the Northern Arapaho Tribe located on the Wind River Indian Reservation in central Wyoming. He graduated from the University of Wyoming in 2008 with a bachelor of arts degree in journalism. He has worked as a reporter for the Lincoln Journal Star, the Salt Lake Tribune, the Forum and the Denver Post. Questions of who owns tribal artifacts and the role tribal members play in these decisions prompted Dresser to leave Wind River and enroll into a museum studies graduate program at the University of San Francisco. Dresser currently serves as the collections manager for the Northern Arapaho Tribal Historic Preservation Office in Riverton. In 2016, he co-produced the documentary “What Was Ours.” His latest film, “The Art of Home: a Wind River Story” aired on PBS stations and is available to stream online.
