The American bison is a national symbol―and at the end of the 1800s, these animals nearly went extinct. Discover how the lives of buffalo, Indigenous people, and the North American prairie have long been intertwined. And find out how all three were harmed by a massive effort to slaughter buffalo. Despite the challenges, this is ultimately a hopeful story, highlighting those who have worked to protect bison, grow their numbers, and establish protected areas for them to roam. Along with recounting historical and scientific information, the book incorporates the perspective of Indigenous environmental scientist Ferin Davis Anderson.
