The Buffalo people know whats best.
Bless these tribes for doing this incredibly important work. Good fortunes and gentle breezes, my friends.
And it would not have happened if it were not for the hated 'white man'.
@mike alstott…it is a debt we owe them…and maybe finally will pay.
I hope get your land back

congratulations. This has been a long, hard struggle for the people and the buffalo of this land. May this battle be over forever and the land, the people and the buffalo restored.
I heard a statement early in this video how they were worried about the bison damaging the land. Look how much dammage domestic livestock does to our enviroment. Feed lots, poluted water ways, over grazing and all the chemicals used to grow the feed. I am happy to see this taking place. Greed is a big factor for so much oposition.
I agree with bringing back the buffalow across are great country. Love this.
Man I loved to see this accomplished... I pray that it keeps going. ..
VERY. AWESOME.
Long hard fight, thank you for your efforts to return these animals to native lands.
Excellent for the Buffalo and the Indians...the CREATOR does not sleep.
The Indians kills the buffalo.
Mike Alstott do you hunt?
But men do, and for far, far too long.
This world is a strange place. How about they test there cows and leave. My heart is always with the indigenous people and the animals. Many blessings to you always
It's only right for the Natives to continue the fight for balance in the ecosystem as they have done for hundreds of years. They have known the earth secrets about balance way before the white man. At one time these Buffalos helped sustain the Natives Americans way of life. Now the Indian people can help sustain the Buffalos life........
Thank you to all involved!! 🎉☮️💯👍🏼😍
Congratulations on winning the rights to bring your Bison back home. Hopefully this will be the beginning of a rebirth for your people and your ways and rights. Prayers for you all.
Read the book "Son of the Morning Star" - you will get an education.
I love you family. First Nation's Texas
Blessings to the Pte Oyate ~ Long may you run
The return of the Bison to the prairie is the right thing to do, but there should be more of it throughout the West. All Federal land should have free roaming Bison, just as they have Elk and deer.
White ranchers don't want it, ....it is the ONLY reason why there is not....Just the same stupid mentality that has prevented wolves, etc, from being re- distributed....
@@timmccarthy3034 White has nothing to do with it. There are many white people who want to see the bison returned to the range. The problem is that the ranchers want the cattle to forage on that same land and that is competition. All businesses hate competition, but that is just the way it is in this country.Competition helps to keep the prices down. Bison cannot be raised as easily as cows can , and they would require larger and taller fences. Ranchers resist by crying Brucellosis when ever the Bison are to be reintroduced. The real threat is competition.
@@johnisbell574 yes , well said John, I fully agree, but essentially all the ranchers who oppose the buffalo.....are "white"....not Native American....so it is still an issue of racial misunderstanding at the very least, and reflects the racist attitudes that still exist in USA today in places where it always has been a big problem....But I think things are changing for the better now, slowly....one can only hope ...and pray that things get better...The Buffalo will help make that happen, and will bring the 2 races , Red and White...together as One People....just as the reintroduction of the wolf to Yellowstone has done..All the ranchers ("white" ranchers) were opposed to the wolves being reintroduced back to their old homelands, but the Native American people, the Blackfeet tribe mainly, united the efforts of white scientists, and wolf experts, and law makers, etc to officially bring back the wolf in Yellowstone Park, and look now , what has happened....No wolves are running around killing all the cattle etc...and they have brought about a new sense of natural balance to the land, once over populated with herds of elk, etc, overgrazing,, now, the health of the environment has been restored....The same thing will happen with the Buffalo too..it will restore the land. and unite the People....
@@johnisbell574 all federal land could be returned to native americans, treaties were lies, they have to pay what they did
@@frost3dart All treaties were not lies, but the government certainly didn't obide by many of those treaties. The courts have been forcing the government to obey those treaties.
Fabulous. Great work.
Thank you for sharing. I love the conservation movement. I really enjoyed watching this!
I don't know how some people think the way they do. All of this land once belonged to the Native American People and the animals that sustained their lives for hundreds of years before any American came here. They didn't even know this land existed... Why are they still trying to suppress after all they have gone through, the indiginious people on their land?? I am very glad they were able to stop those bills to prevent them from their way of life. My opinion only, I don't want to affend anyone at all.
Much love 💛 & respect. Thank you
all my respect !
Bring the buffalo back, they are an essential part of the environment and culture of this country.
Back in 76, on a ranch in Mo a buffalo rammed my father off his horse, next thing I remember he was under a shade tree working on a rope, then we were hauling ass through a field, my mother was driving, he roped that buffalo fron a 72 Ford ranger. This has been long time needed, hopefully not long past do, and may we remember our forefathers past deeds and take the high road towards renewal, something to leave unto the next generations to come forward and protect and preserve unlike an unruly wreched past.
Congratulations 👍👍👍👍👍✌️✌️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

And long live the Buffalo
😇😇😇🦅😇🦅😇😇😇
So be it. 🥰🐎🦌🌾👊🏼
It is nice to see them
I hope and pray that these Buffalo ( Bison) herds on these reservations continue to grow and flourish healthy in numbers for present and future generations through the blessing of the Great Spirit Above and Creator Yahweh . I also pray for the families the women, children and men that Yahweh may also bless them as well.
They should've tested all the cattle and horses in the areas surrounding the Buffaloes.
Back in 1979 I used to live there in Yellowstone....and I recall all the times that buffalo were rounded up and shot.....every time they wanted to seek out pasture outside the park...The Park service did the same thing to grizzly bears too.....and of course, the wolves back then , were almost non-existent....so if a wolf was ever seen, it was shot..THAT is what they called "wildlife management".....Now it looks like the tides are turning back in favor of scientific facts and reasoning..... the People, and the Buffalo, and Wolf Nations......
No. It looks like a big step to all of us ~ Nationwide and World Wide.
Thx
🖖
I'm so happy for the tribes and the bison with teary eyes this being true joy to my heart the is how it's suppose to be to restore this union with the nature that existed prior to the evil that tried to destroy both, now may those elite thieves get there due rewards
I think all tribes with reservation lands ought to consider bringing them back if possible. It could bring employment & revenue to Natives who wouldn't otherwise have it. Buffalo are hardy resilent animals. Bison meat is also much better than beef IMHO.
Awesome Positive feeling here - gain. Thanks.
W support Your efforts to restore buffalo!!!
☮️ 🇺🇸
Excelente, que vivan las comunidades nativas y sus bisontes.
Watching this makes my heart happy. Is there any way to help?
Indians : Hey, what if we take the buffalo that are clearly an expensive problem, and
put them onto our land to enrich our lives?
Cowboy courtroom : Nah.....
We can can have buffalo and beef production !
Win - Win
Natural beauty will return to Mother Earth... for the future benefit of mankind, despite his despotic attempts to destroy It! Then, the King and the land will be one, as told in the legends, for all of us belong to the Creator, who rules oe'r us as the King of Kings, and His Laws are those of Nature, which show us the way to go Home...to eternal life and Paradise!
No healthy bison should be killed. They should be shipped, at least to tribal lands. Every plains park should find a means of incorporating bison back into the biosphere. They have the right to be there.
Where can I send a donation for the Herd.
Wolves coyotes bison herds fox need to be saved and protected by Native protester Americans and native people should roit and fight out government to save Wildlife to roam free.
War always the government wages war on the Sioux
And usually loses.
Pte Oyate!
Lest yall got em home Yeha. Im So happy right nos🔥🌸🐩💧
Hey Out There... I love free animals in nature. In Danmark we haven:t had free Wolf for 200 years. Now they came back and this make me so happy. But farmers want them to die... I hope farmers in your Land and in my Land can see that free animals are very lovely❤️
Fifty-five oh joy for h that yum 2 5th St 911 kddk,dfdow
I'm so tired of hearing ranchers complain bout the wolves , mustangs and bison. They should only have enough cattle for the land they own. Public land and land set aside for wild horses are not for cattle. The US imports most of the beef.
Aho!
Any updates on this? Did the herd grow?
i WONDER what their herd size is now
It’s a prehistoric mammal 🦬 just like the woolly mammoth 🦣
Yellowstone Politics are real
YAY!!!!! BISON FREE ROAMING, I WANT TOGO CRUISIN IN TOO LOV!!!!! I LOVE YOU PAPIS!!!!!!!,😄😄😘😘😍😍😉😉😐😐
Put em back home. Good job !!!
Hello there Native American Indians!
Please educate the Courts about TRUTH in laws and respect for our ancestors who are plants ,insects and animals.
Scientists have proven that we came from sperm cells in seaman with tails that resembles tadpoles before we lost our tails to become human man and woman.
The disgusting truth is that animals with tails are our ancestors.
Please apply logic in the courts.
Courtship is about courts and the right to respect our ancestors!
The disgusting truth is that the Native American Buffalo and Bison are Native to United States of America before the white settlers arrived to starve on Thanksgiving Day without the Native American Indians feeding the pilgrims during the winter months.
Please understand transparency about TRUTH in United States of America history!
Native American Indians went through genocide and never really fully recovered alongside the Native American Buffalo and Bison.
Please appeal to the High Courts and define love and courtship with being a native which means Hindi for Hindian or Indian.
Om Mani Pad Me Hum!
ETN....
You took all their land and culture away from them. You now want to deprive them of the animal that was their foundation of life. The buffalo represented life as whole to them. Shame on Montana.
restore the prairie - be kind to one another
What is more magical than wild roaming buffalo, those anti buffalos should be herded down over cliffs
13 good number sacred food sacred animals Creator multiple them.
What about their genetic diversity?
Are the cattle surrounding the reservation tested?
I bet not. Discrimination!!!!!
🌟✨❤️💛
In the end----Waconte Waste!
When they speak of fear of the free roaming Bison what they are really speaking on is the fear of growing Native American populations in those areas. I’m sorry, it’s the only reasoning I can think of as to why they wouldn’t want Bison roaming the plains in Montana. You ever hear the saying “Kill every buffalo you can, every buffalo dead is another Indian gone”.
.............🦊...........🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Our bibles did more damage than our guns
Settlers: But I don't want justice! Waaaah! 😭 Those buffalo might cause damage to our property! What would our frail white hearts do?
🙃 Like fuck. The audacity and entitlement these people show to the lands they stole is appalling.
Ate waste, hehecitu
The silly music adds only noise pollution.
Title Name Sounds Gross Discussing.
The title is because many people in the tribes considered themselves "the buffalo people". It's not gross. It's accurate and powerful.
Why would anyone make a negative comment?
VIVIAN MACKENZIE because ignorance is bliss
Watching this makes my heart happy. Is there any way to help?
