SUMMARY:Bison: Standing Strong Smithsonian Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:May 7\, 2026 Through May 2029 Opening May 7\, 2026 | FREE Explore the remarkable story of bison. These iconic animals shaped North American landscapes for more than 100\,000 years and anchored Indigenous lifeways for generations. Pushed to the brink of extinction in the 19th century\, bison survived thanks to dedicated conservation efforts. Today\, they stand strong as an enduring symbol of survival and resilience. The Bison: Standing Strong exhibit invites you into this incredible journey. Explore a full-sized bull bison specimen\, the six-foot-wide skull of an ancient bison ancestor\, an immersive soundscape\, multimedia\, cutting-edge scientific research\, and Native objects and stories shared in collaboration with community members. Experience the deep history of America’s national mammal and discover the hopeful future being built for generations to come. The museum’s bison exhibitions and programming received support from Smithsonian’s Our Shared Future: 250\, a Smithsonian-wide initiative commemorating the nation’s 250th. Signature support for Our Shared Future: 250 has been provided by Lilly Endowment Inc. Additional contributions have been made by Target.

SUMMARY:Buffalo Beyond Borders 2026 Conference
DESCRIPTION:Gathering Details Where: Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk 105 S St. Mary’s St\, San Antonio\, TX When: April 13–17\, 2026 (Please see the Agenda Overview Below) What to Expect: This gathering\, in partnership with the Texas Tribal Buffalo Project\, represents a powerful convergence of place\, lineage\, and living systems. By bringing together Indigenous leaders\, partners\, scientists\, policy advocates\, and relatives to reconnect with buffalo\, land\, and one another\, we aim to move shared work forward. Together\, this time offers space not only for strategy\, but for remembrance\, repair\, and renewed relationship that sustain both people and the lands we care for. Together\, we will explore what it means for the spirit of the buffalo to move beyond borders through coordinated actions in science\, policy\, and narrative change\, grounded in Indigenous-led leadership and lived experience. Gathering Design To support deeper connection and collective momentum\, there is a single registration option\, and we ask participants to plan to attend for the full duration of the week. Rather than centering reports and presentations\, this gathering will emphasize strong facilitation\, active participation\, and collaborative problem-solving. Sessions are designed to be engaging\, relational\, and action-oriented\, with the goal of leaving San Antonio with shared commitments and next steps for buffalo restoration. We also approach this gathering as a ceremony for the buffalo\, a time to call in our boldest visions\, honor the land and our relatives\, and feel the support of the earth holding us all. Registration & What’s Included ** Early Bird Registration ($50 off) is available through March 2. ** Monday Evening Welcome Reception Lunches throughout the Gathering Coffee and Refreshments Field trip and roundtrip transportation to the Texas Tribal Buffalo Project herd in Floresville\, located at their recently rematriated 150-acre ranch. Field Trip Highlights: Tipi Talks Buffalo Harvest (The meat from the harvest will be going to to the mothers in the Meat for Mamas Program and the San Antonio Health Equity Network.) Registration and transportation for the Floresville field trip are fully included in the Buffalo Beyond Borders registration and are a central part of the gathering\, not an optional add-on. Donations to the Texas Tribal Buffalo Project are welcomed and appreciated\, and can tickets can be purchased here.
