  Element description

When the existence of Range Creek Canyon, with its hundreds—if not thousands—of ancient, undisturbed, Fremont Indian sites was announced in the Summer of 2004, worldwide interest focused on a unique parcel of land wedged in a remote corner of Utah.A Utah ranching family had defied the pressures of encroaching modern society and tourism. The Wilcox family had protected Range Creek Canyon’s ancient sites of the now-vanished Fremont Indians. Despite the passing of five hundred years since the mysterious “disappearance” of the Fremonts, the sites and their artifacts had remained untouched. It was shaping up to be a wonderland for archaeologists. But, behind the headlines and the media hype, there were other stories to be found. Stories that unveiled political deal making, competing interests forced into uneasy alliances and unspoken pressures that could shape the fate of Range Creek Canyon.
