Robert- I like your commitment in defining "wilderness" in its own right. With such history of claims, ownership, tribes, and colonization---I do believe the keen sense of real meaning of the word is a worthy pursuit.
Yes, and thanks for the comment. We think of "wilderness" as natural, yet the concept is inherently cultural -- some things are in, others are out. And that makes all the difference in how such spaces are preserved and managed.
