Wyoming men's basketball student-athlete Luke Martinez will speak at two schools on the Wind River Reservation about how Native Americans can succeed in higher education and athletics. Martinez was invited by the Northern Arapaho Tribal Education Department. He will address the 23 graduating seniors at Wyoming Indian High School's commencement ceremonies this Sunday and then visit St. Stephens Indian School on Monday.
