"This is the first book to deal with this topic. People working on heritage interpretation and site development will find it useful, as will the general reader interested in the topic of bison kills." -Brian Reeves, Western Canada Cultural Resource Management and Interpretation Specialist "A nice assemblage of articles on important bison jump sites written by the most prominent experts in this field. The authors are all top notch." -Sara Scott, Ph.D., Heritage Resources Program Manager, Montana State Parks "A series of almost elegant essays on the interplay between science, science communication, and the two-way street between a public institution (e.g., a museum or visitor center) and its audience.... This book will be of interest to archaeologists who are familiar with these sites, but also to museum professionals and historians who are perpetually trying to engage the public in new and different ways." -North Dakota History "The chapter authors are skilled writers and obviously knowledgeable about their subjects.... The volume provides many examples of how sites can be developed, funded, and interpreted for the public. Pisskan: Interpreting First Peoples Bison Kills at Heritage Parks is an excellent primer on certain bison kill sites in Canada and the United States, as well as their management and development as heritage parks." -Southwestern Lore
