U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland says her agency will work to restore more large bison herds to Native American lands under an order that calls for the government to tap into Indigenous knowledge in its efforts to conserve the burly animals that are...
Haaland was expected to announce a secretarial order Friday meant to help more tribes establish bison herds, along with $25 million in federal spending for such efforts. The Associated Press obtained details on the order in advance.
As many as 60 million bison once roamed North America, moving in vast herds that were central to the culture and survival of numerous Native American groups. Haaland said the bison’s slow recovery has been a conservation success, yet more work is needed to return the animals to tribal lands and restore the grasslands they depend on. Haaland, of Laguna Pueblo in New Mexico, is the first Native American to serve as a U.S. Cabinet secretary.
Past administrations have proposed or advanced bison conservation plans - including under former Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump - and tribes have long been part of that process.
