In which Patrick talks with wildlife biologist Wayne McCrory about the beautiful - and surprisingly controversial - wild horses of the Chilcotin region. In this compelling book, McCrory draws upon two decades of research to make a case for considering these wonderful creatures, called qiyus in traditional TĆilhqotâin culture, a resilient part of the areaâs balanced prey-predator ecosystem. McCrory also chronicles the Chilcotin wild horsesâ genetic history and significance to the TĆilhqotâin, juxtaposing their efforts to protect qiyus against movements to cull them.
