Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:

In the Dakotas, the Indian country, the Sioux People have set aside a tract of their precious range land- a rolling plain of grass land, ravines and creeks-- that the antelope and the deer and the elk herds may roam again upon the earth; that the buffalo may live again in splendid right. And buffalo live there on this range land, resting and grazing, going to water, going to new grass, using the same old trails, using the same old ways that buffalo have used since the beginning. The Indians who keep them know. There still are buffalo.
