(Bozeman) According to a press release by Montana State University, educators who attended weeklong workshops hosted by Fort Peck Community College, Montana State University and community partners say the experience gave them the confidence to incorporate information about the importance of buffalo and cultural revitalization to Indigenous peoples into their classrooms.
MSU says during the two workshops, participants visited key sites and engaged in activities facilitated by experts, educators and leaders from several Indigenous nations who relied on buffalo as a primary source for food and other everyday needs.
The pair of workshops, which were held in Gardiner and Yellowstone National Park this past August, were part of a new Buffalo Nations Landmarks program led by Fort Peck Community College along with MSU and the Missoula-based nonprofit Ecology Project International.
