Inscription.
This slow-moving channel of the Snake River at Oxbow Bend sustains many different animals. Every year thousands of visitors come here to see them.

Like you, Indian tribes such as Shoshone, Bannock, Blackfoot, Crow, Nez Perce and Gros Ventre have been drawn to places like this for more than 11,000 years. American Indians ventured into this valley as glaciers receded. They came to Jackson Hole in the spring to hunt game and harvest roots and berries. They collected soapstone for bowls, obsidian for projectile points and quartzite for tools and roasting hearths. As winter approached they left their summer home in the Teton Range for warmer places.
