Yellowstone is established as the first national park during the height of the wars between various western Native tribes and the United States government. The park is created by the U.S. government, which decrees that the Native communities living on the land, including the Shoshone-Bannock and the Tukudika, will be kicked out of the park and forbidden from hunting and gathering on their traditional lands. The creators of the new national parks also intend to preserve “wild” spaces for "American" enjoyment, without including Indigenous people in this vision.
