People on the Prairie – American Prairie Reserve October 2008 Newsletter

Dear Friends of the American Prairie Reserve,

At APF, we are, of course, primarily focused on wildlife and wildlife habitat. However, American Prairie Reserve will always include a strong element of human beings and their long and continuing association with this beautiful and unique landscape. In this issue we tell brief stories about just some of those people.

We recently published a review of the book Revolution on the Range by Courtney White, which, as one of its messages, promotes the need for landowners of all types to gather often, get to know one another, exchange views, and seek common ground. A recent Community Open House on the Reserve brought seventy-five local residents together for an enjoyable Saturday afternoon to do just that. Some weeks earlier, Dennis Jorgensen of World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Northern Great Plains http://www.worldwildlife.org/what/wherewework/ngp/ was honored by members of the Nakota and Gros Ventre tribes at an event indicative of our continuing interaction with the members of Fort Belknap Reservation.

Our recommended books this month are also about people on the prairie, some contemporary and some who lived hundreds of years ago. I hope you will enjoy all these stories about people from in and around the Reserve area, and we hope that you, too, become part of the rich cultural element of this amazing part of America.

Sincerely,

Sean Gerrity
APF President
