Some precious cargo has arrived safely at the Wolakota Buffalo Range in South Dakota this week. Run by the Rosebud Economic Development Corporation (REDCO), the economic arm of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, the site has secured almost 11,300 hectares (28,000 acres) of native grassland that will be home to 100 bison released onsite today.
The formation of this plains bison herd was made possible thanks to Rosebud's Tribal Land Enterprise, and the reserve now has the capacity to support 1,500 animals,
