The Bison Cultural Project in Mînî Rhpa Mâkoche or Banff National Park

This 15-minute documentary showcases the innovative project by the same name funded by the Canadian Mountain Network (CMN), which focuses on the restoration of Plains Bison to the mountain landscapes of Mînî Rhpa Mâkoche, also known as Banff National Park. The Bison Cultural Project, led by William Snow, Acting Director of Stoney Consultation at Stoney Tribal Administration, brings together Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Western science to redefine a more holistic approach to conservation and land management. The film serves as a powerful tool to raise awareness about this unique collaboration between the Stoney Nakoda First Nation and Parks Canada and its significance in promoting Indigenous cultural heritage and ecological sustainability.
