This volume is the first summary and synthesis of the rock art of the American High Plains, from Archaic times to the historic period, linked to holistic archaeological research in the region.
Drawing on extensive ethnographic work among descendant native peoples and ongoing archaeological excavations, Mountain Spirit shows that many groups have visited or lived in the area in prehistoric and historic times. Primary among them was the Shoshone group called Tukudika, or Sheep Eaters, who maintained a rich and abundant way of life closely related to their primary source of protein, the mountain sheep of the high-altitude Yellowstone area.
Illustrated with photographs and maps, this book documents the many different roles American Indians have played in the history of Yellowstone National Park.
