What
You See in Clear Water: Life on the Wind River Reservation
by Geoffrey O'Gara
Seventeen years ago, journalist Geoffrey O'Gara left Washington, D.C.,
for northwest-central Wyoming to take a job covering environmental and
resource issues concerning the Rocky Mountain region. He settled on the
outskirts of the Wind River Indian Reservation, and over the years became
deeply attached to the land, its people, and the story of "two cultures
that have been arguing for 150 years over the same beloved country, and
trying to find a way to share it."
What You See in Clear Water traces the history of the reservation from
its beginnings, when the Shoshone Indians signed a treaty entitling them
to a region encompassing some 44 million acres, to the present, when a
century and a half of cuts and revisions have reduced the reservation to
5 percent of its original size. The Shoshones have been compelled to share
what remains with their traditional enemies, the Arapahos, and today, both
peoples grapple with the familiar hardships of reservation life: poverty,
high suicide rates, persistent health issues, and the hostility and indifference
of their non-Indian neighbors. For the past two decades, much of that hostility
has centered on a highly charged clash between the Indians and whites over
water rights to the river that runs through the reservation.
Although O'Gara's narrative is anchored by the ongoing debate over who
will decide the fate of the Wind River--and the lives of the people who
depend on it--the story deftly and compassionately illuminates the larger
conflict that has persisted ever since the European settlers came to the
Americas. "It is the unfinished struggle between Native Americans and the
whites who surround and threaten to subsume them--once a military conflict,
now a cultural war, complicated after all these years by the fact that
neighbors, even antagonistic neighbors, know one another in intimate and
sometimes affectionate ways." And it is O'Gara's deep concern and abiding
affection for the Wind River's inhabitants that give his book its power
and its grace. --Svenja Soldovieri

People
of the Wind River: The Eastern Shoshones, 1825-1900
by Henry E., IV Stamm
People of the Wind River, the first book-length history of the Eastern
Shoshones, tells the tribe's story through eight tumultuous decades--from
1825, when they reached mutual accommodations with the first permanent
white settlers in Wind River country, to 1900, when the death of Chief
Washakie marked a final break with their traditional lives as 19th-century
Plains Indians.
Henry E. Stamm, IV, draws on extensive research in primary documents,
including Indian agency records, letters, newspapers, church archives,
and tax accounts, and on interviews with descendants of early Shoshone
leaders. He describes the creation of the Eastern political division of
the tribe and its migration from the Great Basin to the High Plains of
present-day Wyoming, the gift of the Sun Dance and its place in Shoshone
life, and the coming of the Arapahos.
Without losing the Shoshone perspective, Stamm also considers the development
and implementation of the federal Peace Policy. Generally friendly to whites,
the Shoshones accepted the arrival of Mormons, miners, trappers, traders,
and settlers and tried for years to maintain a buffalo-hunting culture
while living on the Wind River Reservation. Stamm shows how the tribe endured
poor reservation management and describes whites' attempts to "civilize"
them.
After 1885, with the buffalo gone and cattle herds growing, the Eastern
Shoshones struggled with starvation, disease, and governmental neglect,
entering the 20th century with only a shadow of the economic power they
once possessed, but still secure in their spiritual traditions. The
