Standing Rock Sioux Tribe resumes buffalo roundup after hiatus

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's Game and Fish Department has resumed its annual buffalo roundup after a year-long break, aimed at supporting the tribe's efforts to manage its bison population. The tribe had paused the roundup due to logistical challenges but is now moving forward with plans to gather and relocate buffalo to grazing lands. The roundup is an important cultural and ecological project, as the buffalo is central to the tribe’s heritage, providing food and materials. The tribe’s efforts are also contributing to ecological restoration and sustainability.
