Jason Baldes, Ecologist
​

Jason, an enrolled member of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe, received both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Land Resources & Environmental Sciences from Montana State University, where he has focused on the restoration of Buffalo to Tribal lands.

In 2016 he spearheaded the successful effort to relocate a herd to the Wind River Indian Reservation, a project decades in the making, undertaken in collaboration with the Eastern Shoshone Tribe, National Wildlife Federation and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

He is an advocate, educator and speaker on Indigenous cultural revitalization and ecological restoration who has also served as director of the Wind River Native Advocacy Center, where he was instrumental in the passing of the Wyoming Indian Education for All Act. He currently serves as the Tribal Buffalo Coordinator for the National Wildlife Federation’s Tribal Partnerships Program, Region I Director of the Inter-Tribal Buffalo Council, and is the Buffalo Representative for the Eastern Shoshone Tribe. Read about some of Jason’s work in this article:
The descendents (MSU News, Mountains and Minds, 2019).

Keynote presentation by Jason Baldes:
 
Date & Time: Wednesday, August 12, 2020, 8:15-9:15am ​(See the full conference schedule here)
Location: MSU SUB Ballroom A 
Title & Description: Finding Your Buffalo: Culture, Change, Curriculum

Witnessing the wildebeest migration in East Africa changed the trajectory of my life. The story of bison became passion, because the name for ourselves as Shoshone people is the "gweechoon deka," the buffalo eaters. The buffalo was absent from the lives of Shoshone people for 131 years. With their return, we begin to heal.
