WyoFile Features Ivan in article about Indigenous Representation

The WyoFile story begins:

Scott Ratliff, an Eastern Shoshone veteran and the first Indigenous person to serve in Wyoming’s Legislature, stood up Friday in a small room in the Frank B. Wise Business Center to introduce a man who could follow in his footsteps. 

“I’ve been a friend of Ivan’s for a long time, and really an admirer,” Ratliff said. “I think it’s fulfilling to be around somebody who steps up to the plate and moves forward in a positive fashion. And that’s been my experience with Ivan.” 

Following a prayer by his brother, Myron Littlebird, Ivan Posey cut to the chase: He is running for House District 33. As to why he wants to go to the state Legislature after so many years in tribal politics, he said, “I think we really need representation at that level.”
