The short-grass area of the Great Plains of the United States is a large, sparsely population region, which at one time was the home to millions of American buffalo. By the late 19th century, the buffalo had been basically eliminated from the region. For the last fifty years the region has faced major out-migration and dwindling employment opportunities. Due to these conditions, a proposal dubbed the “Buffalo Commons” was introduced in 1987, which would return the short-grass area to the buffalo. Such a proposal is not likely to materialize but a new national park based on the short-grass ecology and the buffalo might be feasible, especially if it would generate the economy through tourism. This paper discusses a GIS instructional module designed to have students select a location for a “Buffalo Commons” national park. |
