This virtual exhibit is a preview of the Pablo-Allard bison herd journey, and how it intersects with the processes of colonialism and the diverse ways we can connect to the land and each other for the benefit of the whole.

[Marcia Pablo]: Well, back in 1492, there were hundreds of millions of bison roaming this continent. By the year 1870s, they were nearly extinct. And I like to think that Charles Allard and Michel Pablo had a big role in playing and saving the bison. They were partners and cattle ranchers. They bought thirteen bison from a man named Sam Walking Coyote.
