Buffalo Busters
June 2, 2012 |
Spend an afternoon debunking many of the myths and much of the mystery surrounding one of America’s most iconic symbols of the western frontier—the buffalo. Chad Kremer, herd manager at Custer State Park, will speak about the majestic creature’s historic rise and fall and recent resurgence in popularity. Jim Jandreau will discuss the uniquely dependent relationship the Plains Indians had with the buffalo. Glenn Wyatt, Vice President of the Vore Buffalo Jump Foundation, will address how the archaeological remains found at the 500-year old site reveal the rapid cultural changes the Plains Indians experienced. Black Hills buffalo rancher, Hank Frawley, will transport participants to his property to see buffalo, including newly-born calves, up-close and personal. The day will wind down with a social hour and buffalo art display followed by a delicious buffalo buffet with all the trimmings. Pre-registration for this event is required. To pre-register, please call the Homestake Adams Research and Cultural Center at 605-722-4800.
