The Return Of The Hangman Creek Mammoth

Latah Community Center

The Columbia mammoth, Mammut columbi, ranged across North American for most of the last Ice Age before fading into extinction soon after humans entered the scene. Spectacular bone and tusk discoveries along Latah Creek in the 1870s brought mammoths back into the public eye, and over the past few years they have become increasingly visible as a symbol for school and community awareness of our geological past. This slide presentation will trace the tangled story of bones found on the Coplen and other homesteads in our area, and explore why they still resonate today.
