Bison in Native American Culture
On Tuesday March 18th, we will be joined by Ricardo Ariza from the Umoⁿhoⁿ Nation Public School who will talk about the importance of Bison to Native American Culture in the Great Plains, and the work of Umoⁿhoⁿ Nation students to provide fresh, healthy food to thousands of native families through the Three Sisters Farm to School Program.
Bison were central to the lives of many Native American tribes in the Great Plains, who relied on the Bison for food, clothing, tools, and many aspects of everyday life. By the 1880s the Bison were driven to near extinction by settlers and hunters. Join us for our next Club Car Conversation as Ricardo Ariza from the Umoⁿhoⁿ Nation Public School (UNPS) answers your questions about the role of the Bison in Native American Culture, and the UNPS “Ashita The’wathe Program” (Let’s Play Outside) and the Three Sisters Farm to School Program, teaching native students about natural sciences through a cultural lens while providing fresh food to the Umoⁿhoⁿ Nation in Macy, Nebraska.
