Dr. Shane Doyle (MSU Bozeman/ Native Nexus)
Archaeological evidence and oral traditions indicate that Native people have been living within and around today’s Yellowstone Park for at least the past 12,600 years, and they continue to maintain a strong cultural connection to that remarkable region of their homeland.
Dr. Shane Doyle will review noteworthy examples of this ancient Indigenous presence in the Upper Yellowstone Region and provide a more complete picture of the unique impact that the people had on the place, and the wondrous place had on the people who have called it home since before the last Ice Age.
