 Last weekend I dragged my kids and husband (who went willingly) to the Bison Homecoming, a celebration of the return of wild Bison to the Soapstone Prairie Open Space north of town. A highlight for me was when members of the Crow Nation (owners of over 1400 bison themselves) draped the Colorado State University research team in Pendleton Blankets.
Mr. Pretty Paint and other delegates of the Crow explained that in the 1800's they would have used Bison skins for this ceremony but today they use these beautiful Pendleton blankets. I hope our 6th graders will be able to carry out their study of Bison as part of our handwork project this year with such intention and reverence as was exhibited on this day. Comments are closed.
