The Eastern Shoshone Tribe and the Northern Arapaho Tribe are taking steps to return bison to the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming.
The joint tribal council has called for the creation of a wild bison herd. Tribal leaders are being urged to move slowly, inform the public and work with local, state and federal agencies.
The Wind River Alliance, a conservation group on the reservation, hosted two informational meetings on the reservation on Thursday and plans to hold more.
