Why the confrontation between “land is sacred” with “manifest destiny” might best be understood as a religious conflict of competing cosmologies
$5.00Using the following links as suggestive leads, learn more about Wyoming’s Sacred Lands by focusing on three sites found in Northwest Wyoming: Bear’s Den, Medicine Wheel, and Medicine Lodge. Choose at least one of the sites, conduct additional research if needed, and compose a thoughtful discussion post.

They tend to treat this site largely in terms of tourism rather than sacred lands issues. At what point does the tourism of one people become a kind of religious pilgrimage and what is the draw to the Indigenous rock art and historical presence–at what point does the attraction suggest a hunger by the dominant culture to be near the sacred places of the Indigenous people?
