Western and Indigenous Lens'

Bree Eastman joined me to discuss her path to bison studies, her research and seeing the world through both a Western lens and an Indigenous lens. 

Bree Eastman is a second year master's student at Montana State University studying buffalo as a traditional Indigenous food source for the Great Plains Indigenous communities. Bree is a member of the Sičháŋǧu (Rosebud) Lakȟóta Sioux tribal nation of South Dakota. Her work follows the bicultural accountability approach of a two-eyed seeing methodology in seeing through a Western lens and an Indigenous lens.
