His passion is tribal bison restoration, and he has worked tirelessly to restore conservation buffalo to tribes across North America. He serves as Tribal Buffalo Program Manager for the National Wildlife Federation’s Tribal Partnerships Program and sits on the board of directors for the Inter-Tribal Buffalo Council. He also serves as executive director of the Wind River Tribal Buffalo Initiative and oversees the tribes’ growing buffalo herd. Jason is also featured in the new Ken Burns documentary The American Buffalo in the companion segment “Homecoming” that aired in October 2023. Stream the video here!
