The Winnebago Bison Projects is a project of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska and operates on a volunteer basis. The project is in need of assistance to get the program operational for another summer.

The project also uses the services of church work groups, Senior Employment Program, Winnebago Tribal Court Community Service workers, Summer Youth Workers and other volunteers to build electric fence and clear specific areas of the refuges. I also use kids who come to me and say, I'M BORED.

Therefore, the Winnebago Bison Project is sponsoring a spring cleanup day, and a have fun day. You are invited to attend, bring your entire family.

Some BAD Tasks
Clean up and prepare the Village Bison Pasture for the upcoming Lewis and Clark Days and construction of the new Bison Turnout.
* Prepare fence-lines for electric fence and install gates and corner posts
* Cut, stack, and burn excess tree, branches, and debris
* Clean trash from all refuges
* Plus complete all other tasks as equipment and skills are available

Free Meals: The Winnebago Bison Project will serve bison prepared by tribal members to all workers at the noon and evening meals.

Volunteers & Donations: The project is also in need of monetary donations to cover the costs of food and materials. Please make donations to the Winnebago Bison Project, Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.

Please contact Louis LaRose or Richelle (Bambi) Marr, 402-878-3219. You can also leave an e-mail message bison@huntel.net to volunteer or get updated information. Your help is really needed to restore bison to the Winnebago Reservation in a manner that is compatible with the spiritual and cultural practices of the tribe.

Bison Sales: During the event, Little Priest Tribal College and the Winnebago Bison Project will be selling processed bison to the public. So bring your coolers and wallet.
