The Chilcotin¿s wild horses are are romantic and beautiful, but they are also controversial: they are seen by government policy as intruders competing for range land with native species and domestic cattle and, as a result, they have been subject to culls and are not officially protected.In this compelling book, wildlife biologist Wayne McCrory draws upon two decades of research to make a case for considering these wonderful creatures, called qiyus in traditional T¿ilhqot¿in culture, a resilient part of the areäs balanced prey-predator ecosystem. McCrory also chronicles the Chilcotin wild horses¿ genetic history and significance to the T¿ilhqot¿in, juxtaposing their efforts to protect qiyus against movements to cull them.
