Recently revived by a TV show’s nod, the UNESCO site now draws new visitors to its interpretive center honoring Blackfoot culture and ecology. Dawe, who began his work there in 1983, contrasts the site’s ancient chaos with today’s quiet reverence—and reveals a surprising twist: after hunting ended, the bone-filled quarry was mined for sugar whitening. With excavations still underway, mysteries remain: how many bison fell? Did use stretch beyond 7,500 years? For Dawe, it’s more than a job—it’s a second home, and a vital key to understanding our past. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
