Show Notes
In 1886, the last wild bison on the Great Plains was killed in Montana, devastating Native tribes who relied on them for survival. However, recovery efforts began soon after, with a Salish man named Attice tracking surviving bison to the Flathead Valley, creating seed herds for refuges across the U.S. and Canada. Today, just a few thousand wild bison remain, and Montana Governor Greg Gianfortes team has opposed expansion. The BLM recently rejected American Prairies bid to switch cattle permits to bison and canceled others, threatening herd diversity and tribal rights. Montana and federal leaders must now choose between past conflicts and a path that revives the prairies through tribal partnership.
