This is such a wonderful thing to see happen for these long suffering people. My heart skipped a beat when Jonny talked about how the Sioux and other nations almost became extinct just like the buffalo. European and US colonialism tore the native peoples to pieces literally and figuratively. I’m overwhelmed by the beauty of this story.
My thoughts exactly 💯
Very nicely said!
Home at last - where they evolved. Pound for pound the Bison is the strongest animal on Earth. With a little help they will flourish. Thank you for the story!
No words can express the beauty of releasing the Buffalo back where they belong. The buffalo herd needs to grow as it did back in the day. Bless the community who put this together and made it happen. 🌈⭐️🌈⭐️
I hope I’m alive when the next report is on how this herd flourished beyond expectations and now fills the land like they did in the past.
"Like they did in the past." You mean, no more farms? Villages? Homes?
Think this thru.
@@veramae4098 People sometimes wish for a return to “the old days” without realizing what that would actually mean. A migrating herd of even 10,000 would be impossible today. How do we move goods reliably across this wide country? I’ve loved the American bison since trips “out West” in the mid 60s, but a group of 100 is something to be very careful around.
Welcome home to Tatanka.
I am tearful watching this... gratitude to those who made it possible.
It’s a beautiful sight! Home at long last.
Wonderful story, they are home at last.❤
What a great accomplishment! I’m not Indian but I thank you.
My great-great paternal and maternal grandmas were native people. This is the coolest thing to experience!
Yes. So much, YES! I'm so happy for the buffalo and for the tribes. So, so happy. 💗
I'm happy for both the animals and the people. ❤
Touched my soul.
Awesome ❣ Congratulations 👏
They are so strong to keep fighting for the future and their past
Awesome! Thanks to the reservations hard work they're getting a more balanced ecosystem. Thank you for doing the hard work to make this happen. I'm sure it's only the start.
I am so proud of these folks who are reclaiming the native wildlife indigenous to our country. As I see it the Yellowstone bison are partially a success, when the Canadian Bison ate also released there the restoration of this country can become complete. I understand That like the Alaskan and Canadian moose are much larger. Personally I believe that it is our responsability to reestablish the original state of our country.
It is about time.❤
What a beautiful sight! ❤
Incredible!
I had tears in my eyes as this native city gal watched those majestic creatures RETURN HOME! Notice, no prodding necessary. They simply ran free and back into nature as the majestic cloud, commonly called fog, embraced them. Oh what a lasting display of a clouds hovering as if witnesses gathered to usher and embrace them back home. ❤
So proud of all your hard work, blessings to see. Why didn't you release them in the spring for better survival and food?
great!!
Thank you to the People for their efforts, and this Lady for speaking truth. Hold on to your dreams. I'ver never seen the animal up-close, in person. Must have been frightening to early hunters, laying low in the grass, hunting with a stick or rock- Stone Age man style....
Formidable !!! One specie out of the many we need to protect and reintroduce.
A miracle for the life and health of the plains.
The web of life! Thank you for bringing back the Buffalo.
America would be a better place if Native Americans were put in charge of protecting the environment.
hahaha great joke
so awesome, I love Buffalo!
What do they eat in the snow-covered ground❓
They dig through the snow to eat the grass underneath
nothing, this is a braindead idea. They need tons of grass, that's why they migrated over large areas of turf. Stick them in a scraggly dusty lot up in North Dakota and they're bound to starve. This is just animal cruelty
Wonderful we need them for healthy prarie and water 💦.
Excellent video 😊
A story about true Spirituality. In this day and age. The power and ability to believe in something of the natural world, one hundred and forty years on. The symbolism of this is giant. Am thinking of what if anything, today, holds anything that's equivalent in the White man's world can represent our evolution as closely. What of this world that we occupy that's living do we have as strong, as durable a belief in we have a symbiotic relationship.
❤❤❤
Why would they release a herd of animals in a new location in the middle of winter ? Wouldn't spring or summer have been a better idea ?
Bison are adapted to live in cold environments. They regularly live through blizzards just fine.
💚
I want to see cattle removed from public lands and bison retuned to every state they were roaming before. Antelope also. I’d rather eat bison than beef. My family raised beef in the past. Time to let them go.
❤❤
Imagine that sound of his small herd thundering into the wild multiplied thousands of times. The sound of the some 30 million buffalo that once roamed the plains. The thundering heard of 30 million animals.
In many ways our government is wonderful. In other ways the treatment of our native peoples by this government leaves me speechless, angry, sad and disgusted.
They are Bison, not buffalo. Fact check.
We had names for them before they were called bison.
@@nlinder6075Thank you.
It's been 150 years since Native Americans hunted Buffalo as their main food source.
She states that it isn't merely about a food source. It represents a Spirituality to their culture. Which should be our culture as we all moved on to their lands. The beauty of seeing them run free is without words.
@sueprator9314 Just hard to imagine it's been that long. It will be interesting to see how this develops over time.

PBS, they are not buffalo, they are bison. We learned that in grade school. Duh!
Some call it the American buffalo. We know this. And what is your point? You were in grade school decades ago taught by the whyte dominated culture. READ UP ON THE ORIGINS of how the word "buffalo" started being used. IT WAS THE POPULAR MANNER OF DESCRIBING THEM.....even if Bison might be the technical word. DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WHAT IS THE POPULARIZED WORD BACK IN THE DAY??? There is an explanation for how the word "buff-"alo came to be.

oh plese... This is nothing but propaganda. Bisons and Buffallos have been roaming wild in America for decades now. Sure it's new to this reservation, but not new to America! Anyway, great for the reservation. PBS just needs to stop propaganda.
