Bison reach new home on Montana Indian reservation [View all]
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) -- A group of wild bison relocated from Yellowstone National Park
has arrived at northeastern Montana's Fort Peck Indian Reservation.
Fort Peck Fish and Game Director Robert Magnan said two tractor trailers carrying
almost 100 bison were being unloaded on the reservation Thursday.
A third shipment of several dozen more animals was due Friday.
The bison initially will be kept in a 140-acre pen, before moving to a 13,000-acre pasture
later this month. They join about 48 Yellowstone bison previously obtained by Fort Peck's
Assiniboine and Sioux tribes.
