With funding from the Canadian Mountain Network and support from Parks Canada, the Stoney Tribal Administration Consultation Team led a cultural monitoring study—using ceremony, elder Interviews, fieldwork, elder reconnection, report writing, and outreach to describe the cultural impacts of the bison reintroduction and further an understanding of what it means for bison to again roam freely in Mînî Rhpa Mâkoche. Join us for a conversation about how Indigenous knowledge can enhance parks and protected areas and the management of species at risk and entire ecosystems.
