Abstract

The article traces the near-eradication of bison in Colorado and their restoration through a values-driven partnership led by Denver Mountain Parks. Topics include the historical loss of bison and prairie ecosystems, a shift from livestock-style management to conservation and cultural stewardship, and the return of bison to Indigenous communities as part of reconciliation and shared guardianship.
