The Oakland Zoo's bison program is in collaboration with the Blackfeet Nation in Montana. This baby was released with others from the Oakland Zoo herd as part of returning bison to the plains of Montana.

We can't erase what colonists and settlers did, but we can work to fix the damage, and many, many people and organizations are working to save the bison and re-wild them, led by the indigenous peoples of the US and Canada who have been their stewards for so long.

I encourage everyone to find out what programs and systems they can support in their local areas and communities-- it can be as fun as purchasing a zoo or museum membership if those orgs do this kind of work.
