Tribal nations were ignored in talks of delisting the Yellowstone grizzly bear.
James Walks Along was forced to abandon an address to the Yellowstone Ecosystem Subcommittee (YES) of the joint federal and state Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee (IGBC) by Brian Nesvik, IGBC Chair and Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) Wildlife Division Chief, at the committee’s spring meeting in Cody, Wyoming. Walks Along emphasized the spiritual significance of the grizzly bear to the Cheyenne. “This Holy Mountain of ours, Bear Butte, is named because of the mightiness of the grizzly. We have a lot of history with this great animal, and many stories. Grizzlies are like humans. We respect them for being like us,” he explained. [Native Sun News, posted at Indianz]
