Ted's Montana Grill is still very much open. One of my kids works at one. Not sure where their product comes from now but originally he raised his own meat on his ranches.

These days there are lots of commercial bison operations. Wouldn't surprise me if some of these tribes sell the animals and pocket the profit.

How about for all the treaty obligations the US government failed to fulfill because of graft and corruption in the BIA?

[Leep]

was it with proviso they don’t drive them off a cliff?

Denver has a herd of Bison located on either side of I-70 about 20 miles west of the downtown State Capital. They are cool to see on the way to Genesee and Evergreen.

[Georgia Girl 2]

A good solution. But they didn’t need to call it reparations.

“The meat he sells is very good.”

Where do you get it?

[shotgun]

Nice gesture but how much actual money did they send along with the herd? In all my dealings with various tribes every negotiation came down to how much money they were going to get on top of all the other stuff that was conceded.

Be careful what you wish for. Bison are dangerous and unpredictable. It takes a monster fence to keep them enclosed. They can jump a six-foot fence without a running start. Many people who have bought them have regretted it. They are not the docile, grazing animals you think they are.

Lacking any way to actually do good, Denver virtue signals with animal surrogates

[Daffynition]

FWIW, lots of folks here in the NEK have buffalo. The beasts don't mind the bitter cold; they seem to thrive.

You just wait.....

[SaxxonWoods]

I can’t remember the name of his company but I’ll see if I can get it.

Thanks.
