What's the problem with bear management?
Yonder Lies: Unpacking the Myths of Jackson Hole
This is an episode about a theory:
info_outlineThe stories of Native Americans have long been erased in tellings of the history of the United States and in histories of Jackson Hole.
In this episode, we ask: How do we and how should we understand this violent and complicated history? What is true and what is false? And where does the legal relationship between the United States and North American Tribes stand today?
This episode is the first of two, diving into the history of the Shoshone-Bannock people in this area and the creation of the Wind River Reservation and the Fort Hall Reservation. We’ll also explore two important Supreme Court cases with their roots in Wyoming, which have shaped the relationship between treaties, land use, and the hunting rights of tribal communities: Ward v. Race Horse and Herrera v. Wyoming.
How can we move forward in telling a more accurate story of this landscape today?
