"This is a complete book on Natives and their relationship to bison. It is an important historical record, yet is as up-to-date as today's headlines in the continuing search for compromise and success in providing wildlife biodiversity once again in the Great Plains."Francis Moul,Lincoln Journal Star, "[ Buffalo Nation ] is a book that, for the first time, begins to give a coherent voice to the role of American Indians in the preservation and return of the bison from near-extinction. . . . In his notes and list of references, the author touches on studies and publications that give the reader a good foundation for further research. I would recommend Buffalo Nation as a good introduction to the relationship between bison and North American native people. The author does a thorough job in his presentation of the efforts to restore the bison."Paige Baker, South Dakota History, "[Buffalo Nation] is a book that, for the first time, begins to give a coherent voice to the role of American Indians in the preservation and return of the bison from near-extinction. . . .

Synopsis
The gruesome story of the devastation of buffalo herds in the late nineteenth century has become uncomfortably familiar. A less familiar story, but a hopeful one for the future, is Ken Zontek's account of Native peoples' efforts to repopulate the Plains with a healthy, viable bison population. Interspersing scientific hypothesis with Native oral traditions and interviews, Buffalo Nation provides a brief history of bison and human interaction from the Paleolithic era to present preservation efforts. Zontek's history of bison restoration efforts is also a history of North American Native peoples' pursuit of political and cultural autonomy, revealing how Native peoples' ability to help the bison has fluctuated with their overall struggle. Beginning in the 1870s, Native North Americans established captive bison breeding programs despite the Wounded Knee Massacre and a massive onslaught on Native cultural and religious practices. These preservation efforts were so successful that a significant percentage of bison today carry the bloodlines of these original Native-sponsored herds. At the end of the twentieth century, more than fifty tribes banded together to form the Intertribal Bison Cooperative. This group has made significant progress in restoring bison herds in the United States, while Canadian First Nations work with national parks and other government entities to select and manage free-ranging herds. Buffalo Nation offers insights into the ways that the Native North American effort to restore the buffalonation inspires discourse in cultural perseverance, environmentalism, politics, regionalism, spirituality, and the very essence of human-animal interaction., The gruesome story of the devastation of buffalo herds in the late nineteenth century has become uncomfortably familiar.

He is an active scholar in central Washington, and contributed to the Encyclopedia of the Great Plains (Nebraska 2004).
