Bison spread as Native American tribes reclaim stewardship

Some 82 tribes across the U.S. — from New York to Alaska — now have more than 20,000 bison in 65 herds — and that’s been growing in recent years along with the desire among Native Americans to reclaim stewardship of an animal their ancestors lived alongside and depended upon for millennia.

Piles of buffalo skulls seen in haunting photos from that era illustrate an ecological and cultural disaster. The program was a boon for white ranchers. Today, Cherry County, Nebraska — along Rosebud reservation’s southern border — boasts more cattle than any other U.S. county. With so many people, houses and fences now, Haaland said there’s no going back completely. But her agency has emerged as a primary bison source, transferring more than 20,000 to tribes and tribal organizations over 20 years, typically to thin government-controlled herds so they don’t outgrow their land.

Chains fastened around the front and hind legs, the half-ton animal was hoisted onto a flatbed truck for the bouncy ride to ranch headquarters. About 20 adults and children gathered as the bison was lowered onto a tarp, then listened solemnly to tribal elder Duane Hollow Horn Bear.WATCH: From South Dakota and Oklahoma to Alaska and Alberta, Indigenous groups in the U.S. and Canada are leading efforts to restore bison across North America.

I'm sure it will be somewhat hard to restore the bison to the way things were because after all they didn't have wind and solar farms to deal with.

Your report nothing but lies and distortions. Why would we believe any of this?

Bison burgers

The numbers … there are 362,406 bison in North America. At one time there may have been between 30-60 million. At its lowest point there may have been as few as 1,000…

Well don't let AOC know. 🦬💨

That's a far cry from millions slaughtered

❤️

Bison burgers rock!!!

European settlers?

White washing the truth? They slaughtered the bisons bc they were indigenous people's main food source - white Anglo & European American settlers was doing it in hopes of starving the indigenous people to dεαth.

Good we need more protein 💪🏻🇺🇸

Excellent!

Was just there a month ago. Magnificent.

I'm cranking Nugent's Great White Buffalo. Ted at least got that.

This is really cool to hear, probably one of the coolest mammals on the planet

But driving them towards extinction was a good thing according to climate activists. Muh methane.

Good.

Again, fixing what colonizers mucked up.

Hell yeah. The bison were wiped out to remove the native's food

The government will never allow this

We can just have bison farms.... Everyone knows that shit right?

Awesome

Nice..

Best Wishes, may your tribes thrive again. Long live the Real Americans...

Loveon999 Wonderful news ... they are such magnificent creatures. It's good to know they are making a comeback.

Earth balance can be restored.

Good article but why does the Author refer to Bison as Buffalo in the article? They are two different animals.

Wait until some green new deal activist discovers bison farts cause global warming?

Европеоидная раса (Англия, Франция и Германия) пыталась уничтожить коренных жителей северной Америки (геноцид) и истребить американских бизонов. Они теперь учат весь Мир как нам жить.

So proud, well done. 🧡

Injuns have Buffalo hunt after pow-wow. Then smokum peace pipe.

What a stupid Story. America ain't too short of Bison. Infact Blue Dog Food products contain Bison My Labs enjoy their Bison and veg.

Awesome how can I help support this project

You ever do research into how Indians hunted bison? Yeah, drove herds off cliffs and took what they needed

That is awesome!

Bison meat is really good. Very lean.

'European settlers destroyed that balance when they slaughtered the great herds.' Almost correct. They destroyed the balance when they murdered and enslaved 18 mill Indigenous people. After that huge herds grew unchecked until dirty,murdering europeans killed them too.

Can’t wait for them to be factory farmed like cows! 🐄🥩😋

Where the Buffalo roam. 🦬

'drove', how about murdered.

Why are you scapegoating James LaPorta for a clear breakdown in editorial controls?

Give me a break

That’s awesome news!

FAKE NEWS! U mean North Americans.... take ownership & responsibility of history of facts.... none of these hunters had just stepped off the mayflower or bannana boat.... school project report... (F) must do better

Okay

Not by themselves they didn’t. Native Americans wiped them out too using them for food, clothing and tools. And even more so then European settlers since Native Americans literally followed the herd’s to do so.

Yeah because they didn't have a big hand in wiping them out lol

Queue the next story about how herd animals are contributing to climate change.

Native americans also wiped out the giant ground sloth, mastodon, wooly mammoth, and the various animals which depended on them.

Wouldn’t this be contributing to “climate change” or was this exception included as part of the liberal agenda?

Fantastic

You want to issue your apology about the Biden laptop now, or can we expect you to continue to brush it under the rug Does truth and justice matter to you people at all

Have they tried cows?

Europoors are so worthless

Did you forget The U.S. Government’s role in the extermination of the Bison as a way to starve native Americans?

But Cristopher Columbus and the Spaniards were the bad guys...

But ,yet they quick to call the blacks to all you racist,don’t throw rocks in a glass house.

Yawn

Watch. They'll all become food, tents, clothing, tools.......

As bison are brought back to Native lands, there’s a nationwide resurgence of Indigenous tribes seeking to reconnect with the humpbacked, shaggy-haired animals that occupy a crucial place in centuries-old tradition and belief.

Now, the 'guardians of the Grand Canyon' are reclaiming its name. I have been subjected to systematic torture and harassment by the Greek government for about seven years and I don't know what to do. Someone hears me... They should name it after the tribe that that tribe forcibly removed. Or the tribe that that tribe forcibly removed. Or the tribe that that tribe forcibly removed.
