It piques my interest too…the landscape and eco-system is so vastly different from how it was when these animals were last here. I mean, we in Scotland have re-introduced beavers, but are now culling them 
Carnivores would be more of a problem than herbivores, obviously…but overall, I’m not so sure that re-intoducing species from long ago is such a good idea.
Followed closely by Lakotas and Tipis ? 
I would love to see these impressive animals .
So would I - but from a safe distance!
Lakota teacher and elder John Fire ( Lame Deer ) describes the relationship as such:-
“The buffalo gave us everything we needed. Without it we were nothing. Our tipis were made of his skin. His hide was our bed, our blanket, our winter coat. It was our drum, throbbing through the night, alive, holy. Out of his skin we made our water bags. His flesh strengthened us, became flesh of our flesh. Not the smallest part of it was wasted. His stomach, a red-hot stone dropped into it, became our soup kettle. His horns were our spoons, the bones our knives, our women’s awls and needles. Out of his sinews we made our bowstrings and thread. His ribs were fashioned into sleds for our children, his hoofs became rattles. His mighty skull, with the pipe leaning against it, was our sacred altar. The greatest of all Sioux (Tatanka Iyotake) Sitting Bull said when you killed off the buffalo you also killed the Indian—the real, natural, “wild” Indian”.
We’ll in the first instance it’s reassuring that there will be specialist rangers employed to look after them and that there will be an enclosure of sorts.
Before I read the article properly I thought that they might be wandering around willy-nilly a bit like the deer in Richmond Park 
Magnificent animals but I would want to upset one of them.
Is it to solve problems caused by Brexit? Housing and clothing problems solved at a stroke. 
I am glad the Sioux found buffalo to be so necessary to their lives and not a bit was wasted…but this lot are just cutting the grass and knocking down the odd tree 
No! 
These are for observational purposes only, tut, tut, Brexit indeed!
Don’t be cheeky, Bruce, and hurry along there or you’ll miss the Tipi making classes!
There was a deliberate attempt by the American settlers/soldiers to wipe out the buffalo for that very reason. A certain William Cody was very efficient in this regard, hence his epithet of Buffalo Bill.
Ethnic cleansing on a huge scale!
It worked with the passenger pigeon, not sure if it was part of the diet but it was killed off by white man,
… and don’t forget the masses wiped out by the European introduced smallpox. That almost wiped the Ponca right out leaving around 200 souls to rebuild their tribe.
So many people don’t know how to tell a Buffalo from a Bison.
It’s very easy though. You cannot wash your hands in a Buffalo.
Sorry, Ill get my coat, I don’t know what came over me.
Thank you - the door is through there 
Only kidding, it made me chuckle! 
I watched a mother Bison & her 2 offspring released ,on TV yesterday & they started eating immediately.
They were huge, and even though I have patted a few bulls & cows in the fields around my house I think I would be scared of having a Bison as a neighbour. 
There was a field of cows on a farm at the back of my house as a kid, and I spent a lot of time wandering through their field and petting them. I clearly had no idea how fierce they could be, but they were always gentle with me. I wouldn’t dare go near a bison though…imagine one ventured in your garden, gosh that would be quite terrifying!
The very basis of today’s America.
Admittedly not precisely the same but uncomfortably close the the Nazi attempt to what they intended to do with the Aurochs and probably other things too.
Australia has feral water buffalo but no bison.
