"About 150 years ago, nearly 30 million bison roamed the Great Plains until a mass slaughter began in the early 1800s. By the late 1880s, fewer than 1,000 bison remained.
Over the last decade, Native American tribes have helped bring back America's mammal. The importance of the bison cannot be overstated as it is central to tribal identity, culture, ceremony, livelihoods, and food systems.
October 2014, with a light breeze blowing and dawn breaking across the hills, a herd of bison take the first steps on the return to the Cherokee Nation, to reconnect with a prominent part of our history and cultural roots."
