The National Wildlife Federation is thrilled to share the great news of the
birth of four new bison calves to the Boy-zshan Bi-Den (Buffalo Return) Program
of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming. Now, the Eastern Shoshone are inviting you to help to name one of them!

Just four years ago, the Eastern Shoshone Tribe and the National Wildlife
Federation introduced buffalo back to the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming
after an absence of over 130 years. Since then, the herd has welcomed over
fifteen calves—reflecting tremendous progress for tribal bison restoration
efforts.

It’s remarkable that 30 million bison once roamed the continent in vast herds,
stretching as far as the eye could see. Sadly, decades of overexploitation,
habitat loss, and human conflict stripped most free-ranging bison from their
natural grassland habitat.

Thanks in part to the generosity of friends like you, the National Wildlife
Federation and tribal partners are leading efforts to relocate wild bison and
return them to their native habitats — where they belong. This calf is a result
of that successful work.

Please help us name this special calf by June 24th.

Our partners from the Eastern Shoshone Tribe will narrow down your submissions
to the final 3 names. And they will then ask you, our wildlife community, to
vote on the final choice.

Let’s honor the species with an indelible footprint on our American conservation
conscience, for Native Americans and all Americans, and help us bring bison
restoration to the forefront of the conservation conversation.

Sincerely,

The National Wildlife Federation Membership Team
