The Return of the North American Buffalo A Then and Now Project by Dave Forrest

What happened to the buffalo? In 1800 more than 60,000,000 (60 million) buffalo roamed the plains and prairies of the American West. In 1894, the number was believed to be only 25.

History Mystery Use the pictures and writing in your folder to find 5 reasons the buffalo disappeared. Be sure to discuss and agree on the 5 reasons. Your team should write each reason with a full sentence. We will have your team report to the class. What happened to the Buffalo? Work in a team of 4 to find out. Be sure to use the 4 L’s 1)Look at your team mate’s eyes 2)Lean toward your partner 3)Lower your voice 4)Listen Attentively

Native Americans and the Buffalo Early in the 19 th century an estimated fifty to seventy million buffalo, also called bison, roamed America’s Great Plains. million buffalo, also called bison, roamed America’s Great Plains. Native Americans hunted bison for centuries, eating buffalo meat and using hides for clothing and tepees. The Indians wasted nothing. The buffalo’s blood was used for paint, the bones for tools, and the droppings were burned as fuel..

Traders and the US Military Millions of buffalo were slaughtered by traders, who sold buffalo hides for one to three dollars a piece. The US military killed millions more in an effort to force Native Americans off their hunting grounds and onto reservations.

Farmers and Ranchers After the Civil War white farmers and ranchers wanted tribal lands to grow crops and graze cattle. They killed buffalo, as did railroad companies who used the meat to feed workers.

The Brink of Extinction 13 million buffalo were killed after the Civil War In 1872 only seven million buffalo remained By 1890 the North American buffalo was almost extinct In 1903 there were less than 100 bison in the US

Buffalo Safe in Yellowstone In 1902 a small herd of 23 bison found refuge in Yellowstone National Park. In the park they were safe from hunters. This protected herd grew during the 20 th century. Today rangers estimate that the buffalo herds fluctuate between bison.

The buffalo are no longer an endangered species. Over 400,000 buffalo are raised each year on private ranches. In addition, the first Yellowstone buffalo have been allowed to leave the park to roam on nearby grasslands. The Sioux Indians welcomed the animals back to the wild, as did conservationists.

The Buffalo Are Back However, farmers and ranchers in the region fear the bison will damage their fences, eat their crops, and compete with cattle for grassland, as they did a century ago. It is not clear who will win the argument about if bison should roam freely, but one thing is for certain, the buffalo are here to stay!
