Brown Buffalo Chaps

Buffalo Soldiers

We had waited for hours atop the knoll for the arrival of the herd and the riders chasing it. Mike Mease had positioned his digital video camera and tripod atop the hill. Mease, a stocky, jovial man with soft green eyes, brown and grey hair down to his shoulders and a full beard hoped to catch just this moment: the buffaloes arriving in the meadows. It’s a scene he’s filmed in more years past than he’d like to admit. Every spring, since 1996, employees of Montana’s Department of Livestock, its Fish, Wildlife and Parks agency and several federal agencies “haze” hundreds of buffalo back into Yellowstone that exit into southwestern Montana during the winter. Hazing is part of the Interagency Bison Management Plan, a coalition of agencies formed to protect Montana’s cattle from potentially catching the disease brucellosis from bison. The Park Service says hazing protects bison by moving them from somewhere they’re not welcome to somewhere they’re adored. Fifteen years ago, Mease, now 49 years old, an environmental and human rights film documentarian, and Rosalie Little Thunder, an elder in the Lakota Native American tribe, founded Buffalo Field Campaign, an environmental activist group that works to stop the haze. Thousands of people have flocked to BFC’s rustic headquarters in West Yellowstone, Mont., to fight for the bison’s right to have year-round habitat outside of the national park. Because of persistent winter conditions in Yellowstone this year, the IBMP didn’t begin hazing operations until June 1, more than a month later than is typical. I arrived at BFC’s camp in West Yellowstone on May 31 to find out more about the haze: how it is conducted and whether or not it is as cruel and inhumane as BFC claims. I also wanted to learn more about the people who make up BFC, why they are so passionate about buffalo and what they do to protect them. For three days, I hung out with a widely known but misunderstood group of activists. They were young and old, dreadlocked and clean cut, career professionals and career misfits. At its core, I discovered, BFC is an activist media organization—its volunteers perform the role of citizen journalists: documenting the haze and spreading word of it in hopes of inspiring the public to call for its end. Moments after arriving at BFC’s camp, I met Peter Bogusko. Bogusko had a wispy mustache and he tucked his braided dreadlocks beneath a baggy knit hat.
