Lets Tribal governments get federal help to bring back and manage buffalo on their lands.
This bill would help Indian Tribes and Tribal groups get federal money and expert advice to manage buffalo and their homes. It aims to bring buffalo back to Indian land for cultural, spiritual, and business reasons. This would change how the Department of the Interior works with Tribes, requiring them to work together and create official plans.
Today, there is no specific federal program that directs the Department of the Interior to coordinate with or provide grants and technical help to Indian Tribes for buffalo management and reestablishment. If this bill becomes law, the Department of the Interior would be required to coordinate with and provide financial and technical assistance to Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations for buffalo management, restoration, and related commercial activities. It would also establish formal consultation and policy development processes.
