Planting Big
Game Animals
Such as Buffalo, Elk, Antelope on
Indian Reservation Is
New Order.

The fact that through their
superintendent. Robert Yellowtail,
the Grow Indians are stocking
their reservation with wild game
is ATTRACTING attention through
out the country. In line with this,
the Denver Post carried a Wash
ington, D. c.. despatch of Sep
Is, which gives the following &C
count of the stocking of two In
dian reservations with game:
The species are buffalo, ante
lope elk. bear and beaver.
Since the animals are closely
associated with Indian history
the bureau of Indian affairs be-
lieves the braves will feel a lot
more at home when they see the
quadrupeds about.
With the aid of Indian youths
in the civilian conservation corps,
the bureau has moved a number
of animals from national parks
to the Grow reservation in Mon
tana and the Pine Ridge reser-
walton in South Dakota.
So far the experiment has been
a success ven tho some of the
buffalo ran away into Wyoming
and haven't been heard from
since.
Any sadness the Indians might
have experienced over this was
overcome. however, by allowing
Superintendent Robert Yellow
tail to kill a couple of buffalo for
a ceremony.
Just seeing the buffalo about,
the bureau says. gives a thrill to
the older Indians. many of whom
hunted the animals in their youth.
When the herds become SO
large as to be unwieldv the bu-
reau plans to stage a big hunt.
Until then the sporting brave
must confine himself to other
game or the fish which the gov
eminent is dumning into the
reservation streams.
