@pbsterra: Around 500,000 buffalo are living in North America despite facing near extinction, but how did they survive? As a crucial source of food, shelter, and spiritual connection, Indigenous communities came together to protect buffalo from hunters. Today, Lucille Contreras, founder of the @texastribalbuffaloproject is at the forefront of reviving buffalo to their ancestral lands. #buffalo #nature #tribe #history #education

I'd be interested in hearing more of the indigenous stories. I was always told that the Yellowstone herd was protected with the creation of the park and the army being stationed there to keep out poachers. I've not heard about the indigenous efforts--would be cool to hear more.

Loved the portion about Buffalo restoring the balance of the land because it is absolutely true. Look up the effects of losing the buffalo on climate change and soil erosion

The fact that these herds were once in the millions makes this so much more tragic

the fact they were put on a nickel after nearly making the species extinct and to cut off indigenous food chain is horrific and only reflects the cruelty of the idea of the u.s.
