THE PLACE WHERE THE WIND LIVES, Yakama Nation -- No man is allowed to live here, in the restricted area of the Yakama. Just the wind, and wild horses.
Fifty years ago, my grandfather told me what I might see today, and in the rustle of the wheatgrass this afternoon I hear his Alabama twang: "Cayuses everywhere - you know, mustangs, boy! There's enough wild hosses up in Horse Heaven Hills a whole damn horizon couldn't hold 'em."
I am here to prove to myself these horses exist - the feds insist that they do not - and I am here because the same government has given me reason to worry for their future.
