Awakening Stories of Ancient Bison Hunting June 25, 2011

This exhibit explores how hunters pursued bison herds on the Colorado High Plains and in the mountainous terrain of Estes Park. The exhibit is on loan from the City of Greeley Museums and features artifacts made of bison remains used for spiritual and utilitarian purposes and a bison skull recovered in Rocky Mountain National Park. The exhibit describes the numerous ways in which the mammal sustained people by providing food, clothing, shelter and spiritual well-being. In addition there will be hands on activities and a film about bisons.
