The Buffalo Relations: Yellowstone Nation Park, States, & Ranchers Violence

With 1,272 Buffalo relations killed in 2023 so far in part due to the Yellowstone National Park Service buffalo management practices, the Yellowstone National Park Service just released its Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Buffalo Management which will be more detrimental to the Buffalo. Moreover, over the years, the Yellowstone National Park Service along with state of Montana, Montana ranchers, and other perpetrators and collaborators, have been complicit in not only failing to protect the remaining genetically pure and original buffalo relations, but these ‘actors’ have been directly and/or indirectly connected to the continuous legacy of taking Buffalo relations lives. In fact, since 1985, 13,958 Buffalo relations have been killed. Our guest for the hour chronicles the work, struggles, and commitment of the Buffalo Field Campaign to protect the remaining genetically pure and original Buffalo relations that call Yellowstone National Park and the surrounding ecosystems across Mother Earth their home. All that and more on today’s American Indian Airwaves program.

Guest:
James Holt Sr. (Nez Perce Nation), Executive Director of the Buffalo Field Campaign (BFC).
