The Buffalo Return: A Decade of Healing and Renewal

[@SeanLenihanTHB]

Keep up the great work!

So wonderful to see so many indigenous women involved in returning buffalo to this land! We need it to restore the health of the Great Plains so that it can continue to sequester carbon and fight climate change. Great job, Tanka Fund! I’ll be donating today! 🎉

[@tankafund]

Thank you so much! And we appreciate you taking the time to watch!

Building back the sister nation is amazing to see.

[@tankafund]

[@Gpenguin01]

That's amazing! Wopila!

Yes they look just like the buffalo of long ago, especially the bright colored ear tags.

Aren't these really Bison?

[@tankafund]

Bison and Buffalo are interchangeable. Among Native people, however, we typically call them Buffalo.

[@Hunterworks]

@@tankafund Not really, no buffalo in North America what caught me off guard was a video and channel dedicated to them, assumed Bison would be used.

[@neumagellan4519]

​@@tankafundBuffalo are an entirely different set of species. These are bison. Buffalo is a traditional error in nomenclature commonly used for bison in North America. I always thought that they were actually named buffalo until I learned the error in a high school class on North American history.

it is a shame that fencing needs to be part of this valuable effort...

[@tankafund]

It's impossible to caretake Buffalo without fencing. However these ranchers are on hundreds of acres of land and Buffalo are never truly penned in like cattle.

thanks for the reply! i understand and wish you and the project all the best!

[@tankafund]

@@LewisEGilbert We appreciate you, thank you!
