Spearheaded by Indigenous leaders from the InterTribal Buffalo Council, environmental non-profits like the Nature Conservancy and The World Wildlife Fund and the U.S. Department of The Interior, The Tribal Buffalo Lifeways Collaboration was announced in July 2024. This powerful alliance will rematriate vital bison in an unprecedented scale to their birth right homes like the prairie grassland ecosystems and tribal lands. Bison are a cultural keystone species who are essential to the health and well-being of North America. A swatting tail keeps the pesky bugs away for Jonas Hustito's young Bison (or buffalo).
