Jason Baldes is Tribal Buffalo Coordinator for
the National Wildlife
Federation. An Eastern Shoshone native, his people called
themselves gweechoon deka, the Buffalo Eaters. But when
the buffalo were killed by the US government, their way of life was
badly damaged.
Now Baldes is helping to restore buffalo to native lands and public
lands as wild animals, and in so doing engaging the people to
restore their relationship to them--as food, cultural icon, and
keystone species on the landscape.
