Indians Rewarded With Buffalo Meat In Government Gift
The Fort Belknap, Blackfeet, Tongue River, and other agencies received 100 buffalo for Indian indigents winter rations from Yellowstone Park herd. Officials noted elders hoped the meat would bring long life and better health as wildlife managers displaced surplus animals through a park roundup led by Joe Douglas. The herd, started with 1902 funds, aims for about 1,000 with calves yearly and some animals diverted to zoos and private estates.
