Tribes urge passage of bill that would help move excess Yellowstone bison to Indian lands

indian tribal representatives testified before a Congressional subcommittee on Tuesday in favor of legislation that seeks $14 million in grants and cooperation from the federal government to restore bison to tribal lands.
