BISON BELLOWS

On April 4, 2016, 87 plains bison calves from Elk Island National Park in Alberta, Canada made their way back home to the Blackfeet Reservation near Browning, Montana.
This transfer of bison symbolizes a monumental homecoming of bison whose ancestors once lived on the reservation.

Bison are an important symbol to both the National Park Service (NPS) and the Department of the Interior, to native peoples of this continent, and in general, to the American public.
