This $379 thousand National Endowment for the Humanities project grant will support the development and delivery of curriculum focused on the history and revitalization of the American bison. Awarded October 1, 2022 and set to be completed by September 30, 2024, the grant will fund workshops and virtual learning for 72 K-12 educators. Led by Fort Peck Community College, Montana State University, and Ecology Project International, presenters from the Fort Peck Assiniboine & Sioux Tribes as well as the Crow, Blackfeet, and Eastern Shoshone Nations will share their knowledge to facilitate lesson development. Rooted in principles of recognition, relationships, responsibility, respect, relevance, and reciprocity, the curriculum will pertain to historical, ecological, political/economic, and cultural literacies regarding the landmark Intertribal Buffalo Treaty and buffalo conservation efforts, including visits to Yellowstone National Park. This award advances the Promotion of the Humanities Professional Development program's goal to better teach American history and culture through professional development institutes for educators.
