"They've always been in our life"
"Since I can remember, they've always had a big impact in our culture and in our everyday life,"
"They mean a lot to us. They've always been in our life. They've carried our elders, our children."
Twenty-four wild horses were rescued after being stranded in three feet of snow in Inyo National Forest, where a winter storm left them stuck for days. Local tribal cultural monitors Rana Saulque and Ronda Kauk were alerted Jan. 12 after a video circulated on social media and nearby residents contacted them. The horses wandered outside the range of the larger Montgomery Pass herd, a clan of over 600 roaming the Mono Basin. The U.S. Forest Service said the horses' origin in the region is unknown. Indigenous community members maintain longstanding cultural, spiritual, and practical ties to the horses.
