Designated America’s National Mammal<\/a> in 2016 <\/mark><\/strong>
Bison<\/strong> (Iinniiwa<\/strong> in Blackfoot, Tatanka<\/strong> in Lakota, Ivanbito<\/strong> in Navajo, Kuts<\/strong> in Paiute) are America’s largest land mammal, an essential part of American history, and embody the strong and resilient characteristics of the American people. Once numbering ~30 million and ranging across the United States and in Canada and Mexico, bison were hunted to near extinction.  Only several hundred remained by the 1870\u2019s. Today, 19 herds in 12 states roam the American Plains.  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
