Before Yellowstone: Native American Archaeology In The National Park

Most of us go to Yellowstone National Park for the wildlife, the scenery, the amazing geothermal features, or simply for outdoor adventure. Early Euro-Americans visiting the area were amazed by natural features like geyser basins and hot springs on a scale encountered nowhere else in their travels. Ultimately this place became the world’s first national park, but for millennia it had been a place of human spiritual and subsistence importance.

NPS Employee Outraged By Treatment Of Yellowstone Superintendent Wenk

Secretary Zinke, We, your staff, across the National Park Service, are appalled at the way Superintendent Dan Wenk and other SES managers are being treated and dismissed. Hundreds of us have had the pleasure and honor of working for Dan Wenk. After 43 years of dedicated service to this country and to the National Park System, and to the American public, this is how you treat him? Is this what we can all expect? Dan has done nothing but stick up for what is right, treat employees well and fairly, and ensured that places like Yellowstone endure for future generations to come. He performed as a leader!
