Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

For ideafest we plan to enlighten our fellow Humboldtians on how Native tribes are helping to save the bison from extinction. Bison have played a key role in Native culture especially in the great plains . Their bison are like our salmon. The Sioux and Assiniboine tribes of Fork pecks currently have the largest restoration herd, with up to 340 bison living and thriving on their lands. We major in zoology and we decided to focus in on this subject because it is a clear bridge on how Indigenous people make connections between animals and their culture. Thereby, a connection between NAS and Zoology is born and recognized :) .
