Where the Buffalo Don't Roam

Looking forward to seeing Red Chief run the kids race at the Fourth of July festivities. Will post photos of his first competition.

Happy Fourth everyone.

From Dale Lott's American Bison: A Natural History:
"If we're going to keep wild bison [buffalo] wild, we're going to have to protect the spaces they have, and we should look for some more space . . . . The bison is the only wild animal in the United States that is not allowed to live as a wild animal--live outside parks and refuges--anywhere in its original range . . . . What must never change is our commitment to the remarkable creatures that dominated the North American plains--shaking the earth when they stampeded and shaping the grasslands where they walked."
