Thick Mapping Project: Bison in Wind River Tribal  Buffalo Initiative
(Greater Yellowstone Ecocultural System)

This ongoing project seeks to demonstrate via a public-facing resource the incredible yet challenging healing possibilities of embodied multispecies restoration. Specifically, it examines the story of bison (American buffalo)  through an exploration of the nexus of multispecies relationalities in the Wind River Tribal Reservation located in the Greater Yellowstone National Park ecosystem.

​

This project seeks to contribute in restoring respect of and value for tribal experts, knowledge and practices of  ecocultural restoration by celebrating the ecocultural work of the Wind River Tribal Buffalo Initiative.

​

The resulting public-facing digital resource will provide an engaging, exciting and thought-provoking account of the cultural, spiritual and philosophical foundations of both human and bison revival. The hope is that a strong story such as this one will be told far and wide in order to support this important ecocultural initiative.
