"Buffalo Should Be Everywhere" (2019)
"Buffalo Should Be Everywhere" (2019)
The American Bison, or buffalo, once roamed free across the entire continent, but was nearly wiped out by the end of the 19th century. But, Native Americans and a handful of conservation groups are leading the way toward restoration of North America's most iconic animal to public and tribal lands in the western United States. The tribes of Fort Belknap Indian Reservation in north central Montana are at the forefront of this effort.

    The Native Americans drove the Buffalo off of cliffs. They couldn’t use all the meat they killed.

    Why is John Tester getting more dark money than anyone else including Biden? Tester the third senator from California who pretends to be a moderate once every six years while voting 99% with Schumer and Biden against Montana.

    In the late 1700s, many Native American, Canadian, and Mexican tribes were migrating and stealing land so they called each other horrible names. Navajo, Apache, and Comanche all mean "Enemy" - no misunderstanding there

    After the gardens burnt down it was quite a loss for us in Butte. We ended up buying the grass sod from there and transplaneted it to our house out at the nine mile. The grass is still growing out there to this day.

    Humans have used hundreds of ways to communicate without writing for ever and still do. With whistles, clicks, clothing, reflections, drawings, hair, structures, things they carried with them like a weapon, totem poles, stone carvings, mounds, face paint or tatoos, sign language, knots, claps, chomping teeth, blinking, hand gestures and sign language ( sign language itself has h7ndreds of different forms around the world just like the many different spoken languages), animals (pigeons, dogs, rats, pigs , almost every ani.al has been used to communicate long distance, or in war, or to communicate wi5h their Gods, smiles or frowns don't mean the same everywhere, feet stomping, and so many many many more like pins or stars on a Military uniform and the uniform itself, white lab coat, tubans and thousands of other head wear, smoke, banging sticks together, or a message stick, spinning a bullroarer instrument, and all instruments, body movements and everything else including smells
