Program Description
Many groups of native peoples visited or lived in the area during prehistoric and historic times. Primary among them was the Shoshone group called the 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. We observe the Tukudika way of life before and after European occupation. We write our own story comparing their lives with our own lives using memoir techniques.
