Plains bison ‘running again’ on prairie
"I know a lot of aboriginal people are feeling very good today knowing that mista moostoos is running again in this part of the country,"

Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan - Herd released into Saskatchewan park as part of effort to restore species almost wiped out in North America
Yesterday's bison release is part of Grasslands National Park's management plan to resume grazing of large herbivores in an area that is one of the few undisturbed grassland habitats left in the country. It's also part of a symbolic effort to restore a species almost annihilated in North America.
