Description

This book details the common fate shared by large mammal herds and Native peoples as Euro-American expansion swept the American West.  As both were exploited and got rid of from much of the land,  Indian tribes were sequestered on reservations where impoverished herds of deer, elk, pronghorn, and bighorn sheep and no bison remained.  The story specializes in two of these Indian nations, the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho and how their cultures and lifestyles perpetually were changed by the loss of their nomadic hunting economy.  In 1978, the tribal councils petitioned the U.S. Fish and Natural world Service to lend a hand them get well their Natural world heritage. Wildlife at the Wind recounts how the first Natural world biologist to work at the Wind River Indian Reservation helped the Shoshone and Arapaho people change the course of conservation.  Along with a story of hope, perseverance, and restoration of charismatic Natural world, it is also a biologist’s personal journey to understanding the real purpose of his work.  This landmark conservation achievement is the first on an American Indian reservation to be published for a general audience.
