Distrust of government at the end of the road: Finding selves situated in a hinterland place

In this article, data generated in an isolated town in the Rocky Mountain West is used to examine perceptions related to government regulation of natural resources. Assessing which perceptions dominate citizen's depictions of their community and the social forces that account for the specific pattern of those themes suggests that, despite desires to maintain a quality of life tied to the natural environment, community respondents reject government intrusion, opting for personal land stewardship rather than governmental regulation. Implications for advocacy related to natural resource management are discussed.
