The National Wildlife Federation applauds the introduction of the bipartisan Indian Buffalo Management Act by Senators Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) and Mike Rounds (R-S.D.). The bill will establish a permanent program within the Department of the Interior to develop and promote Tribal ownership and management of buffalo and their habitat on Tribal lands.
“For Indigenous peoples, the restoration of buffalo is as much about healing our people and reviving our culture as it is about healing the land,” said Jason Baldes, board member of the InterTribal Buffalo Council and Tribal buffalo program manager for the National Wildlife Federation. “The Indian Buffalo Management Act not only expands capacity and reaffirms Tribal sovereignty but ensures we can continue working with Tribal, federal and conservation partners to establish prolific populations of buffalo across the country.”
