[[link removed]]John,

Bison, also known as buffalo, were once a story of American tragedy—but they are
becoming a beacon of hope. This National Bison Day, we are thrilled to share
that the Eastern Shoshone Tribe has welcomed 12 new buffalo calves on their
native lands in the past four years.

Just four years ago, the Eastern Shoshone Tribe and the National Wildlife
Federation introduced buffalo back to the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming
after an absence of over 130 years. Please join us in sending a card of congratulations

Over the years, our members have stepped up numerous times to support returning
bison to their ancestral homes. Just this summer, thousands of you contributed
to naming Hope, a new calf born on the Reservation.

Now, with the guidance of Tribal and professional bison experts, these majestic
animals can thrive on protected Tribal lands and once again take their place as
a wild species. The Wind River herd represents a beacon of cultural rebirth and
significance for the Eastern Shoshone Tribal community.

Congratulate the Eastern Shoshone Tribe on their dedication to restoring bison.

“For Native Americans, the restoration of buffalo is as much about healing
people and reviving our culture as it is about healing the land.”
Jason Baldes
Tribal Buffalo Coordinator, National Wildlife Federation
Eastern Shoshone Tribal Member and Buffalo Representative

Bison are an iconic species for Native American peoples, with a population that
once numbered more than 30 million in the early 1900s. Now, the number of
free-ranging, wild bison has dwindled to mere thousands. The National Wildlife
Federation and Tribal partners share a common vision of returning wild bison to
their historic habitat while restoring Native Americans' cultural connections.

Please, sign our card to send your congratulations to the Eastern Shoshone on
National Bison Day.
