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:2026 NCUSAHA District Meeting
DESCRIPTION:“We are again hosting the North Central district meeting. The last time we hosted this event was 2012 and Dakota Territory Buffalo Association was a big supporter of the event. Below is some information regarding the meeting and attached is our sponsorship options. \n\nSouth Dakota will be hosting the USAHA North Central District meeting this May 12-14th. This is an opportunity to showcase the livestock (and really all agriculture) industries of South Dakota to State Animal Health Officials from the other North Central states. (ND\, NE\, KS\, MN\, IA\, MO\, IN\, IL\, OH\, WI\, MI) \n\nIn addition\, there may be USDA Veterinary Services personnel attending this meeting\, as well as industry representatives who actively interact with the livestock industry. We are planning a bus tour with several stops to show off some of the more advanced livestock industry operations in South Dakota. Obviously\, we would like to stop at many locations in the state\, but with a limited time available\, we have selected the following locations to visit. \nhttps://www.dakotabuffalo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/home-hero-v2.jpg \nSAB BIO– Canton SD-Uses genetic engineering to produce human IgG from cloned cattle \nMedgene-Brookings SD-Develops and produces new vaccines with cutting edge techniques \nHoudek-Brookings SD-Uses a fermentation process to produce sustainable ingredients for aquaculture and livestock feeds \nADRDL-Brookings SD-Diagnostic lab with new facilities and cutting-edge disease testing development \nDare to Dream-Pierre SD-Equine rehab and conditioning facility \nJorgenson Land and Cattle-Ideal SD-The number one bovine seedstock producer in the US \n\nPutting this meeting together is challenging from the financial side of things as we are striving to keep registration costs to a reasonable amount.  As such\, I would like to humbly request your support and assistance in highlighting the livestock industries in South Dakota. Attached you will find information on donation levels. You and any other representatives of DTBA would be welcome to attend so we could thank you personally for your support. \n\nPlease reach out to me or the AIB office at 605-773-3321 if you have any questions or would like more information.

SUMMARY:North American Summit on Collaborating With Wildlife in Park Getaways
DESCRIPTION:What is the purpose of the Summit? Drawing large\, multi-sector participation from across the continent\, the CW Summit aims explore\, establish\, and resource Models & Methodologies for Collaborating with Wildlife (CW)  impacting the way North American societies understand and act toward native species. It acts on the basis that wildlife and humans are not separate but together part of a single\, interconnected system—while acknowledging that wildlife are losing the competition for resources and habitat occupation. CW evolves concepts of wildlife as merely subordinate\, consumptive resources\, or threats to human health and safety. Instead\, CW acts on a concept of wildlife as intrinsically and functionally collaborative toward sustaining nature. Why Park Gateways?  In the CW Summit context\, the term “park” generically describes protected natural areas maintained for wildlife. Accessible parks draw increasing tourism and recreation and attracting new residents bringing development to park outskirts. Being lost at a rapid clip are the family farms\, ranches and other areas which often serve as extended open space for park wildlife. Land and ocean habitats alike are increasingly traversed by traffic and changed by infrastructure. Displacement\, intolerance\, and habitat loss are common challenges for wildlife venturing outside today’s parks.
