HERITAGE

The mighty bison, now safely retrieved from the brink of extinction, is a living symbol of North America's past (from prehistoric times extending through post-Civil War). Once the mainstay of the Plains Indians, bison are again gracing the prairies with their majesty.

Public and private herds are found in every state and many countries. They are being raised for their low-fat meat, fashion-quality leather, exquisite
hair-on robes, decorative skulls, and luxurious fleece.
