Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This Senate resolution designates November 7, 2026, the first Saturday of that month, as "National Bison Day," continuing an annual tradition that began in 2012. The measure highlights the bison's historical, cultural, and economic importance to the United States, noting its status as the national mammal, its central role in the spiritual and economic lives of Native American tribes, and its presence in conservation programs on tribal, federal, and private lands. It recognizes efforts by roughly 87 tribes through the InterTribal Buffalo Council, along with ranchers, conservationists, and government agencies, to restore and sustain bison populations across the country. The resolution does not create new programs or allocate funding; it simply encourages Americans to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. As a symbolic resolution, it affects no specific group legally but serves to honor tribal nations, bison producers, and conservation partners nationwide.
