This week a candlelight vigil honors the memory of a Northern Arapaho man whose death has brought scrutiny to how police in Riverton handle cases involving the Indigenous community.In 2019 Anderson Antelope was shot and killed by a Riverton Police Department officer after an altercation. But many believe the shooting was unnecessary. Since then the Wind River Reservation community has been asking for a policy change from the city on how such things are handled.Chesie Lee with the Riverton Peace Mission, said they have developed a petition.
