Gunfighters · Ep. 40: Becoming Natives of Place in the American West | The American West · 4 Aug 2026 podcast

And what, you know, so what we generally call that is rewilding. voice-verified

I mean, you know, which Dave Foreman sort of launched in the early 20th or 21st century. voice-verified

And of course, it's all over the world now. voice-verified

There are international rewilding associations and we're kind of American Prairie in Montana is doing that. voice-verified

the Southern Plains Land Trust on a ranch they own in Colorado is rewilding. voice-verified

And it, you know, it refers usually to returning the predators and the big ungulates. voice-verified

And so on 12 acres of land or 25 acres of land, you know, you can't, I can't really reintroduce a grizzly bear or a wolf or a buffalo. voice-verified

not the cattlemen in the Bitterroot who are the beekeepers who spread spotted knapweed across the entire valley, but I'm talking about the native people who had it. voice-verified

And so I'm really trying to replicate native management in New Mexico of what the Pueblo people did with that country. voice-verified

In the Bitterroot, it was the Bitterroot Salish and the sort of landscape they managed and created. voice-verified

And in West Texas, it was all those plains people like the Comanches and the Kiowas and the Southern Cheyennes. voice-verified

Well, Dan, always a pleasure to chat with you. voice-verified

Thank you, Randall. voice-verified

It's been great fun doing this. voice-verified

Yep. voice-verified

Gunfighters · Ep. 39: The River That Flowed From Nowhere, Part II | The American West · 28 Jul 2026 podcast

This is part two of how their story should have gone.
