Grades 3-6: A Bison's Journey

Videoconferencing from the Lone Star State! www.Connect2Texas.net
May "In the News" from Connect2Texas provider Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum Home on the Plains: A Bison's Journey Grades 3-6 Friday, May 6th 9:00-9:45 AM CST FREE When Christopher Columbus landed on the eastern shores of North America, there were an estimated 60,000,000 bison roaming the land. For thousands of years Plains Indians hunted bison for food. When the first transcontinental railroad was complete in 1869, the buffalo hunters soon followed, and the bison began vanishing from the prairies. Join us as we discuss the impact of the buffalo on the Plains Indians, what happened when the hide hunters came and about the people who rescued the bison from extinction. We will use artifacts, videos and historic photographs to tell the story. *PLEASE READ* We plan to show a historical reenactment of the processing of a buffalo. This video is somewhat graphic in nature, and is intended for students in the 3rd grade and up. Registration deadline May 2nd!
