The Wolakota Buffalo Range is a nearly 28,000-acre native grassland (11,000 ha) for a bison herd on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota, home of the federally recognized Sicangu Oyate (the Upper Brulé Sioux Nation) – also known as Sicangu Lakota, and the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, a branch of the Lakota people.

[5] This initial transfer included Theodore Roosevelt and Badlands National Parks each donating 50 bison.

[13] In order increase the genetic health of the species, they committed to supporting the establishment of five herds of at least 1,000 individuals each in the Northern Great Plains.

[17] The bison eat the plentiful yucca plants by tearing them up by the roots which allows the native grasses to return.

[19] The Lakota immersion school, Wakanyeja Tokeyahci (Children First) run by the nonprofit Sicangu Community Development Corporation, received a grant to purchase herd shares that provides meat for meals for the students.
