Dozens of #bison from a mountain park outside #Denver were transferred Wednesday to several #tribes from across the #GreatPlains , in the latest example of #NativeAmericans #reclaiming #stewardship over #animals their #ancestors lived alongside for millennia.

Following #ceremonial drumming and singing and an #acknowledgement of the tribes that once occupied the surrounding landscape, the bison were loaded onto trucks for #relocation to #TribalLands .

Step toward #Rematriation- Returning #revenue from lands that were part of the original #LandGrant designated under the Morrill Act of 1863, all of which were #Triballands when they were granted to the territory for the purpose of starting CSU. This income is generated from such activities as mineral and grazing leases that are managed by the State Land Board.
