Growing up near Miles City, Montana, Rip lived a hard life on a pig farm. His family was already fractured by divorce, and on July 14, 1997, his life changed forever when his father came to their farm to commit an unspeakable act of violence. After witnessing the murder of his brother and mother, Rip survived by fighting back in a moment of desperation, killing his father with a frying pan. This traumatic event shaped Ripโ€™s life profoundly, leaving him orphaned and emotionally scarred.
Wandering aimlessly, Rip was discovered in a hay barn and brought to John Dutton, the owner of Yellowstone Ranch. Seeing the strength in the wounded boy, John decided to give Rip a second chance in exchange, making him an indispensable part of the ranch.
Under John's guidance, Rip became the Dutton family's right-hand man and loyal protector. He was willing to do whatever it took, no matter how difficult or cruel, to keep the Yellowstone Ranch - the place he considered family.
Not only does Rip find meaning in life on the ranch, he also finds love with Johnโ€™s daughter, Beth Dutton. Theirs is a tumultuous but genuine relationship, built on a mixture of heartbreak and trust. Rip Wheelerโ€™s journey is a story of life reborn from the ashes of pain, a testament to the strength of will and absolute loyalty. He protects not just Yellowstone, but everything that makes him who he is: family, love, and purpose.

The ancestors of living Native Americans arrived in North America about 15 thousand years ago. As a result, a wide diversity of communities, societies, and cultures finally developed on the continent over the millennia.
The population figure for Indigenous peoples in the Americas before the 1492 voyage of Christopher Columbus was 70 million or more.
About 562 tribes inhabited the contiguous U.S. territory. Ten largest North American Indian tribes: Arikara, Cherokee, Iroquois, Pawnee, Sioux, Apache, Eskimo, Comanche, Choctaw, Cree, Ojibwa, Mohawk, Cheyenne, Navajo, Seminole, Hope, Shoshone, Mohican, Shawnee, Miโ€™kmaq, Paiute, Wampanoag, Ho-Chunk, Chumash, Haida.
Below is the tribal map of Pre-European North America.
The old map below gives a Native American perspective by placing the tribes in full flower ~ the โ€œGlory Days.โ€ It is pre-contact from across the eastern sea or, at least, before that contact seriously affected change. Stretching over 400 years, the time of contact was quite different from tribe to tribe. For instance, the โ€œGlory Daysโ€ of the Maya and Aztec came to an end very long before the interior tribes of other areas, with some still resisting almost until the 20th Century.
At one time, numbering in the millions, the native peoples spoke close to 4,000 languages.
The Americasโ€™ European conquest, which began in 1492, ended in a sharp drop in the Native American population through epidemics, hostilities, ethnic cleansing, and slavery.
When the United States was founded, established Native American tribes were viewed as semi-independent nations, as they commonly lived in communities separate from white immigrants.
