The Wichita Mountains in Southwestern Oklahoma, one of the oldest mountain ranges in the United States, host a rich tapestry of wildlife and Indigenous history. The author, Joseph, reflects on his connection to the land after moving to Chickasha, Oklahoma, to support his daughter and the Caddo Nation. He recounts the historical significance of the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1901 to protect American bison from extinction, and the role Indigenous peoples played in this conservation effort. Through conversations with Wichita tribal members, Joseph learns about their deep-rooted connection to the mountains, which they refer to as 'Our Mountains.' This realization fosters a growing appreciation for the Southern Plains and the unique ecology it offers. Joseph envisions creating the Natural Law Conservation Corps to apply Traditional Ecological Knowledge to land management, emphasizing that respect for nature is intertwined with self-respect and cultural identity. He recognizes that understanding and appreciating the land is a journey, one that honors the sacrifices of his ancestors and their relationship with the environment.
