As the world's first national park, Yellowstone has long served as a
model for the protection of wilderness around the world. For Americans
it has become a source of great national pride, not least because it
encapsulates all our popular notions of what a wilderness should be -
vast, uninhabited, with spectacular scenery and teeming with wildlife.
But Yellowstone has not always been so. At the time of its creation in
1872, it was renowned only for its extraordinary geysers, and far from
being an uninhabited wilderness it was home to several American Indian
tribes. This film reveals how a remote Indian homeland became the
world's first great wilderness. It was the ambitions of railroad
barons, not conservationists, that paved the way for a brand new
vision of the wild, a vision that took native peoples out of the
picture. Iconic landscape paintings show how European Romanticism
crossed the Atlantic and recast the American wilderness, not as a
satanic place to be tamed and cultivated, but as a place to experience
the raw power of God in nature. Forged in Yellowstone, this potent new
version of wilderness as untouched and deserving of protection has
since been exported to all corners of the globe.
