Acuri.Net John R. Vincenti Dead Indian Summit Overlook

On the way from Cody, Wyoming to the northeast entrance to Yellowstone National Park the drive takes you to Dead Indian Summit Overlook, part of the Dead Indian Pass associated with the Nez Perce, Native America tribe. The summit is at 8,071 elevation in Wyoming on the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway, Highway 296. It crosses the Absaroka Range near Dead Indian Gulch, Dead Indian Mountain and Dead Indian Mesa all part of the Rocky Mountains through a series of switchbacks. "The Nez Perce (/ˌnɛzˈpɜːrs/; autonym: Niimíipuu, meaning "the walking people" or "we, the people") are an Indigenous people of the Plateau who have lived on the Columbia River Plateau in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States for at least 11,500 years." <Google People also ask> The history behind the name "Dead Indian" is froth with controversy, sadness and again later the discovery of gold. The Nez Perce Indians struggled to maintain their ancestral homeland from imposing white settlers. As attacks increased, many of them retreated to the Absaroka Mountains. They retreated because they were driven from their homes. <onlyinyourstate.com> During late summer of 1855, it has been described an act of vengeance and retribution between settlers and the Nez Perce Indians. The ensuing attack was on peacefully gathered Indians by settlers which led to many dead Indian bodies. The region became known as Dead Indian Prairie, which included a road, pass and mountain. In 1993 the road officially became Dead Indian Memorial Road but remains controversial issue. <onlyinyourstate.com> <mailtribune.com> <kobi5.com> Sources: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/wyoming/dead‐indian‐pass‐overlook‐wy/, https://mailtribune.com/lifestyle/legend‐of‐dead‐indian‐memorial‐ road, https://www.geowyo.com/dead‐indian‐hill.html, https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review‐g60442‐d8608264‐Reviews‐ Dead_Indian_Summit_Overlook‐Cody_Wyoming.html, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Indian_Pass, https://www.summitpost.org/dead‐indian‐ peak/741412, https://peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=3253, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_Joseph, https://www.okhistory.org/publications/enc/entry.php?entry=NE015, http://npshistory.com/publications/nepe/feasibility‐rpt.pdf, https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart‐news/little‐house‐prairie‐was‐built‐native‐american‐land‐180962020/ and https://kobi5.com/news/dead‐indian‐memorial‐road‐name‐will‐remain‐unchanged‐64151/. acuri.net John R.

This Environmental Assessment is a public document that provides evidence and analysis for determining whether to prepare an environmental impact statement or a finding of no significant impact. The purpose of this proposal is to: 1) adopt a comprehensive resource management plan to protect and enhance the values for which the river was designated (free-flowing condition, water quality, and outstandingly remarkable values), and 2) identify and implement Forest Service management actions needed to protect these values in the Clarks Fork Wild River corridor. There are two alternatives: Alternative 1-the proposed action, and Alternative 2. The management plan and proposed activities would occur in the designated wild segment of the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River, a component of the Wild and Scenic Rivers System, approximately 30 miles northwest of Cody in Park County, Wyoming.

A genuine small town, it is the cen- tral business hub of Star Valley, which was settled by pioneers from the LDS (Mormon) church in 1879. The winter of 1879-1880 was brutal, but they endured the near starvation and frigid tem- peratures. In the center of town, the Afton Tabernacle still stands as a monument to their fortitude. The signature Elkhorn Arch nearby, which spans Main Street, is made of over 3,000 antlers. Afton celebrated its first 100 years in 2002. Though still a dominantly agricultural community, locals have embraced tourism, which has resulted from the overflow of visitors to the Jackson and the Wind River areas. Dairy farming made the valley famous for its cheese, especially hard-to-make Swiss.
