Restoring the Buffalo

One hundred years ago, the US government oversaw the slaughter of millions of buffalo in its effort to settle the West. That meant separating Indian tribes from their historic dependence on the buffalo, or bison, for food, shelter, and also for their spirituality. Now, in cooperation with Canada, the US government has returned the buffaloes to the Blackfoot tribes.
