Joel Janetski is professor anthropology and director of the MUseum of Peoples and Cultures at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.
"Joel Janetski’s new edition of The Indians of Yellowstone Park is
an important and timely addition to the popular literature of the
Park."—Kenneth P. Cannon, National Park Service, Midwest

"As of this writing, hundreds—maybe thousands—of Americans
are standing at airline ticket gates to fly to overseas
destinations, subjecting themselves to hefty price increases

shows the historical role of Indians the Park but also its
collective wonders. As one whose son worked as a chef in
Yellowstone Park for seven years, I can recommend this book for
reasons that may not occur to many of us. Following a massive
forest fire in the Park, I was astounded to find fallen trees by

sense only when I realized that it reflected nature's own rhythms
and that manmade instincts to tidy it up were, at best,
artificial."—www.historywire.com
