*** About Bison: The bison, often referred to as the buffalo in North America, is a majestic creature that has played a central role in the ecosystems and cultures of the North American prairies for thousands of years. Once roving the grasslands in massive herds, bison were crucial to the survival and culture of various indigenous peoples, who depended on them for food, clothing, and shelter. Despite facing near extinction in the late 19th century due to excessive hunting and habitat loss, conservation efforts have since helped partially restore their populations. Today, the bison stands as a symbol of resilience and is celebrated in numerous parks and reserves across Canada and the United States.:
