As one of North America's most unique ecologies, the Great Plains
have fostered symbiotic relationships between humans and animals
for millennia. Among these, Indigenous bonds to beavers, bison, and
horses have been the subject of numerous anthropological and
scientific surveys. Beaver, Bison, Horse is an interdisciplinary
account that centers on Indigenous knowledge and tradition. R.
Grace Morgan's research, considered essential reading in the field,
shows an ecological understanding that sustained Indigenous Peoples
for thousands of years prior to colonial contact, with critical
information on how the beaver manages water systems and protects
communities from drought on the Plains. Morgan's work is a
game-changer. For the first time in print, her important research
now appears with a foreword by James Daschuk, bestselling and
award-winning author of Clearing the Plains , and an afterword by
Cristina Eisenberg, author of The Carnivore Way and The Wolf's
Tooth . "Morgan's work takes archaeological interpretations beyond
basic descriptions of past technologies and foodways to
considerations of how Indigenous Plains Peoples interacted with and
maintained their lands-and why they occupied their lands as they
did. Further, Eisenberg's final chapter brings Morgan's work into a
contemporary context."- David Meyer , Professor Emeritus,
Department of Archeology and Anthropology, University of
Saskatchewan "An important book. The detail on beaver habitat
manipulation...is rich and nuanced and cannot be found elsewhere."-
Norman Henderson , author of Rediscovering the Great Plains
