Darrell Hutchinson lived most of his life on the Wind River Indian Reservation. Darrell grew up in the Mill Creek area, attending school at the Mill Creek Elementary School, Wyoming Indian High School, attended the University of Wyoming.

Darrell worked for Wyoming Indian Schools as a Teaching Assistant/ Arapaho Culture Teacher, Community Health Representative, Security for Wind River Casino and most recently worked as a Cultural Specialist for the Northern Arapaho Historic Preservation Office.

Darrell believed in the Arapaho Lodge ceremonies and practiced our ways throughout his life. Darrell also practiced our cultural / social ways taking part in Tribal gatherings, Pow Wows, member of local committees & organizations and working with schools. Darrell was also a member of the Blue-Sky Singers.

Darrell committed his life to our ceremonial ways, as a Rabbit-Man, sweat chief, native healer, NAC Chief, ceremonial & cultural mentor and leader. Darrell used prayer, prayer songs and ceremony in his daily life for the benefit of the people. His contribution to our native communities was to assistance those in need, to help our relations and to pray for the people to get along in a good way.

Darrell loved all his children, grandchildren, his relatives, cousin brothers & sisters, Indian Brothers & sisters, friends and community.

Before we give his body back to the Grand Mother Earth, let it be said “Darrell was a good man”, easy going, soft spoken, always willing to help others; he loved to sing, especially his Dad’s Burton songs, the fireplace chief songs and Intertribal NAC songs. Darrell liked to visit, tell stories, reminisce about the good times, tease & joke and enjoy being with folks around the fireplace and ceremony.
