("Bannock Indians, Fort Hall Reservation, Idaho" Postcard)

As interest in western lands continued to expand through the 19th Century, the U.S. government’s policies shifted from removal of Native Americans from their lands to reservations. Native peoples were relocated and confined to small areas of land, often with military enforcement, causing Native American travel in the Yellowstone region to shift from a daily or seasonal routine to a fight for survival and sovereignty.
