Art Projects
The Flying Buffalo Project curated an alternative art event
at Buffalo Jump State Park, in which 15 Native American
artists hand-painted kites on July 20th. The Friends of the
Madison Buffalo Jump organized the kite exhibition to raise
funds for the state park in Gallatin County, Montana, to
help keep the park open. The Flying Buffalo Project will
tour to other buffalo jump sites—ancient cliffs used for
communal buffalo hunts.
