Forever on that Buffalo beat. Got to hang out with Ervin Carlson, manager of the Blackfeet Nation's Buffalo Restoration Project, while he worked his herd of about 800 buffalo. In the early 1700s, North America was home to an estimated 20 million to 30 million bison. By 1886 there were fewer than 300. The United States’ war on bison, the main food source for many plains’ tribes, began in effort to starve Native Nations into submission. Now Indigenous nations are leading the bison restoration efforts. Images for the @sierraclub. #montana
