Monday, September 21, 2026
The National Park Service transferred over 600 bison from Yellowstone to 29 tribes across 13 states beginning in 2019 through a conservation program partnership. The program aims to restore bison populations on tribal lands and increase genetic diversity in herds managed by participating tribes. According to the National Park Service, the initiative involves collaboration between federal agencies and tribal nations to manage the animals.
