Abstract
Ken Zontek presents a thoroughly researched and generally well-written account of the underappreciated role played by American Indians in the conservation and restoration of American bison. He notes that of the five foundation herds that in the. 1870s became the principal gene pool for today's Plains bison, three of them were established by people of American Indian descent.
