There are few, if any, photographs of the Eastern Shoshone inhabitants of Yellowstone known as the Sheepeaters (Tukudeka) that were there before it became a national park. Archeological evidence and oral stories speak to a long-lasting connection with lands that exist inside current park boundaries. This photo of a Tukudeka family was taken by William Henry Jackson in Idaho.
