A Conversation with Bill Haw Filmed for the Pioneer Bluffs Center for Flint Hills Ranching Heritage.

In partnership with Pioneer Bluffs Flinthills Ranching Heritage Center, we were awarded a generous grant from the Trusler Foundation of Emporia, Kansas, to record twenty subjects. The effort resulted in the most stories we've collected in a single push! We are behind on editing! The immediate goal is to have one story from each of these people available ASAP. As the complete collection of stories from an individual becomes available, their name will change to a link. Until then, you are invited to enjoy these two highlight films.

In partnership with Ranchland Trust of Kansas, we have been awarded a Cultural Preservation Grant from the Humanities Kansas—to collect more good stories while exploring the timely and important topic of grassland conservation. Filming is underway.
