As a proud MT boy, Veteran and Sioux, I’m very pleased to see the buffalo roaming the plains once again. Buffalo was a way of life. The significance of buffalo played a part in my very existence. It gave plains Indians refuge by supplying all of our necessary survival needs like tools, clothing, shelter, and food. Buffaloes were our key to survival. Especially in brutally, harsh cold winters which are well known in Montana and the Dakota’s. My reservation is located in Eastern MT. our tribe first brought buffalo home roughly 10 yrs ago. Our buffaloes’ DNA lineage is 100% pure. Many confuse buffalo and bison as the same just like the gentleman shown from California. Bison means its not pure bred. It just means a buffalo has been bred with a form of cattle (Bull/cow) over the years. Whichever the case I strongly support saving the Buffalo. Buffalo once saved us from dying out as a people, it’s only right that we return the favor by helping them survive on too. Hokeshina wast'e oyate, pidamiya!!!
Not only were the Buffalo the physical center of the survival of the Blackfeet, but also a spiritual being for them and every life of a Buffalo was honored for its sacrifice. I’m so grateful for the people who saved them over a hundred years ago!
Would like to add that it's not only great for the Blackfeet indians and their history, etc., but also a great thing for an animal that, like all animals, deserves a place in Nature and has a right to live.
My mother and her mother and my fathers mother and her mother on both sides were mixed with half Cherokee Tribe and my other ancestry is Old Irish ☘️ but never Catholic according to Grandpa. My blood is rich with the people who were both pushed off their lands. My fathers people forced out of Ireland and my moms people forced out of the eastern half of USA. But the Scots Irish and Cherokee mix very good and I’m retired now waiting for my Messiah.
That is awesome to see them back roaming again. Thanks for sharing this.
How cute is that baby? Everybody say "Awwwwwwwwwww".
Seriously though, a real piece of good news that these animals are back where they belong and always belonged.
That is awesome. Finally.
About time. Thanks to all
I've been waiting years for this to happen. Good news.
Awesome news! Warms my heart to see these great creatures and the people together.
Thank God, things are changing for the better
Keep up the good work
It's so hard to even imagine how many roamed this earth long ago,, & to think only less than 100 actually survied-- I'm very proud that the American Bison have returned to the Blackfeet tribe & their homeland👍💯%🤗💕
Thank you Blackfeet Native America Tribe For The Buffalo.
I'm so glad they are coming back. ☺🥰
That's some great news
These People! Deserve to Run this Country! It’s theirs !!
ajajajajajaja
About 25 years ago I got a set of rocks glasses from Mobil gas everytime I filled up the tank. I remember one was the American Bison. Majestic beast 🌟
this is an awesome sight!!!
God bless!!!
Buffalo thanks the Blackfeet for the humanitarian service to America the Nation of Freedom for all including The Majestic Buffaloes 🐃
very cool!!!!
Finally America’s First People!!!
Would love to see tens of thousands of them roam the west again. In order to do that however urban sprawl needs to be prevented in those areas
You all should listen to the story of the white buffalo. Very interesting part of Native American Culture. I first heard it from David Paulides.
its sad how often people overlook the *mountains* of enviornmental work that natives do
About time someone done this, Awesome!
Thank You
The truth about buffaloes and bisons:Though the terms are often used interchangeably, buffalo and bison are distinct animals. Old World “true” buffalo (Cape buffalo and water buffalo) are native to Africa and Asia. Bison are found in North America and Europe. Both bison and buffalo are in the bovidae family, but the two are not closely related.
The tears of joy are flowing
Thank you 🙏
This is excellent news!
Yes assert your sovereignty love your culture and your nation. Both the Buffalo and the Blackfeet nation are still here ♥️💙♥️🔆
It's part of my heritage tho gosh bless the black feet tribe there amazing people living off the land and keeping up with their religion
Actually by the billions not millions!
They are bison! Not buffalo!
Don't get your panties in a tizzy, tomato's or tomatoes, Buffalos or bisons, ketchup or catsup, delicious or tasty it's all the same and is MMM MMM Good or yummy yummy.

Shoutout to CBS for not mentioning the motive for the Christmas parade massacre!
🏃🏼♀️🏃🏻🏃🏼♂️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏼🏃🏻♀️🚗
Which was what??
There was no such tribe known as blackfeet before the united states government.
History
Aww crybaby doesn't no his history, get educated
THOSE AREN’T BUFFALOES…. THEY ARE BISONS.
You realize it’s a potato pa tato right? They’re the same thing.
@@Thatguy-fg4fp 🤣👏🏼No they aren’t !
@@kippahthefrenchiewhippasni9689 I’d like to correct that it’s more similar to a hurricane and a typhoon. They’re the same weather phenomenon but they call them different based on what hemisphere of the world you’re in.
