Part One: Searching for Bison in Minnesota History
We'd love to hear your thoughts about Minnesota Unraveled! Please fill out our survey here.
Think “buffalo” and you probably think “Wild West,” “Yellowstone”, or “Great Plains.” In this two-part episode, historian and host Dr. Chantel Rodriguez uncovers why you should also think “Minnesota”. The history of bison in the North Star State is a long one, but not one that’s well-known.
Through conversations with Native natural resource manager Ferin Davis Anderson (enrolled citizen of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa/Ojibwe/Anishinaabe/Mitchifs in North Dakota), conservation biologist Mary Mallinger, and historian Pete DeCarlo, Chantel fills in the picture of bison’s history with Minnesota’s prairies – and people.
