The forthcoming exhibit at Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum, “The Fall and Rise of an American Icon,” chronicles perhaps the most important story of the Great Plains: the interaction between bison and people. From the reverence of and reliance on the animal, to its overhunting and colossal mismanagement, to the current conservation efforts of the species—the American buffalo has stood as an icon of pride and prejudice for over one hundred years.
