Ponca Tribe of Nebraska's efforts to bring buffalo back to the plains



OMAHA, Neb. — The Ponca Tribe of Nebraska is bringing buffalo back to the plains. The goal of this program is simple: to take care of their relatives and the next generation. On a snowy day back in January, more than a dozen buffalo stepped foot onto their new home, the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska in Niobrara. "The buffalo took care of our elders and it's up to us to take care of the buffalo because they were almost wiped out," herd master Larry Wright said. "We're just trying to bring them back."

As the snow melted, KETV Newswatch 7's Waverle Monroe and photographer Terry Sedivy set out to see the buffalo.
