Bill Snow assisted in coordinating the ceremonies for the Stoney Nakota Nations for the bison reintroduction at Banff and Elk Island National Parks. He has also been the consultation manager for the Stoney Nakota First Nations since 2012. The Canadian Mountain Podcast sat down with our first guest, Bill Snow, at CMN\u2019s 2022 Knowledge Sharing Summit.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b769ecb about-links elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b769ecb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe report details the cultural aspects of the bison reintroduction in Banff National Park, as an important extension to the environmental assessment of the bison reintroduction completed in 2016. The bison reintroduction began in 2017 as a five-year pilot project and then received funding in 2019, which included support from CMN.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3470314 about-links elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3470314\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSnow says that one of the most important things to understand about bison is their relationship to the land, and their ability of keeping landscapes more biodiverse. For example, bison hairs are more like wool and are sought after by birds and small animals to line their nests and burrows, as it offers excellent insulation, significantly increasing their survival and their offspring\u2019s.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-051d9cd about-links elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"051d9cd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBison also fertilize the landscape with their droppings, propagating grasses and wildflowers. As they have evolved with the landscape longer than cattle, bison droppings have been found to be more beneficial for the soil and insect diversity than cattle droppings. Other animals, such as deer, elk and other ungulates benefit from following bison, finishing what they leave. For example, in winter, bison make tracks in snow ahead of the other ungulates, which can then move more easily in the landscape. One interesting feature of bison are wallows (earthen depressions), which are created when they roll, creating pools of water in the landscape and offering habitat to a diversity of amphibians.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e489648 about-links elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e489648\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWildlife has a cultural function for Indigenous peoples, including in the way that they live on the land. Ceremonially, bison are very important to the Stoney Nakota people and the relationship with bison touches on many aspects of their lives. For example, bison was a staple in Indigenous peoples\u2019 diets, which was often dried and made into pemmican, a traditional survival food. Reintroducing bison has many teachings: living in harmony with the land, and respecting the land, animals and each other.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37e2d30 about-links elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"37e2d30\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSnow explains that this research project is based on the concept of biculturalism, which is the combining of Western and traditional knowledges. A result of biculturalism is cultural monitoring, which includes ceremony, planning, elder interviews, field work, elder reconnection meetings and outreach, which are the steps resulting from combining knowledges.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6867abf about-links elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6867abf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis bison cultural monitoring study is the first one of this scale in Banff National Park. Snow cautions that there are still many unknowns: This is why ongoing cultural monitoring and more research are needed to understand impacts on the landscape, wildlife and people. However, positive impacts of bison have been observed on vegetation, water sources, insects, biodiversity etc. Ultimately, bison make landscapes more biodiverse and resilient, and offer many cultural and ecological benefits.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-87a925e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"87a925e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-63ab68d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"63ab68d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ace6f8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6ace6f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/braidingknowledgescanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/khh_3907-1024x683.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1028\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/braidingknowledgescanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/khh_3907-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/braidingknowledgescanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/khh_3907-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/braidingknowledgescanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/khh_3907-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/braidingknowledgescanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/khh_3907-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/braidingknowledgescanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/khh_3907-18x12.webp 18w, https:\/\/braidingknowledgescanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/khh_3907.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6e9bf8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f6e9bf8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"489\" src=\"https:\/\/braidingknowledgescanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/khh_3937_snow-1024x626.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1029\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/braidingknowledgescanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/khh_3937_snow-1024x626.webp 1024w, https:\/\/braidingknowledgescanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/khh_3937_snow-300x183.webp 300w, https:\/\/braidingknowledgescanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/khh_3937_snow-768x469.webp 768w, https:\/\/braidingknowledgescanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/khh_3937_snow-1536x938.webp 1536w, https:\/\/braidingknowledgescanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/khh_3937_snow-18x12.webp 18w, https:\/\/braidingknowledgescanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/khh_3937_snow.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f7a3f3b about-links elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f7a3f3b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPhotos from CMN project: Enhancing the reintroduction of Plains Bison through the inclusion of cultural monitoring and traditional knowledge in Banff National Park (William Snow)\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a636f4 about-links elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0a636f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe second guest on the podcast was Marie-Eve Marchand, who discusses the ecological and cultural relevance of bison returning to the Rocky Mountain ecosystem.

Bison also have wool, which is the second warmest wool in North America after muskox, increasing the survival of species that use it to insulate their nests and burrows.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36616ba about-links elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"36616ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUnlike cattle, bison are native species on our landscapes, so specific dung beetles have co-evolved with bison to use their dung.
