Sho-Rap Highway: The Native American Firefighters of Wind River

Native American tribes have for eons used fire to their advantage, and also fought wildfires, but it wasn’t till the 20th century that there were efforts by the U.S. government to organize Indian firefighting crews. In Sho-Rap Highway, author Robin Whiteplume details the earliest years of the fire crews of the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming – and the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho men and women who fought fire all over the West.
