Indian Buffalo Management Act
This bill establishes a Department of the Interior program to support Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations in managing buffalo and buffalo habitat on Indian land. It authorizes grants, contracts, and technical assistance for tribes to restore buffalo populations, develop commercial buffalo activities, and participate in related decision-making. The program requires ongoing consultation with tribes on buffalo management and protects culturally sensitive information shared with the Department. The program will end on September 30, 2030, and explicitly preserves existing tribal treaty rights.
