A young bison calf stands in a pond with its herd at Bull Hollow, Okla., on September 27, 2022. The calf is one of the most recent additions born into the Cherokee Nation herd. In Oklahoma, the Cherokee Nation, one of the largest Native American tribes with 437,000 registered members, had a few bison on its land in the 1970s. But they disappeared. It wasn't until 40 years later that the tribe's contemporary herd was begun. (Photo by Audrey Jackson/AP Photo)
