Abstract | Below us grazes the largest free-roaming herd of buffalo in the world. These are Northern Wood Bison, descendants of the Wood Bison and those which once roamed the Prairies, to as far south as the Mississippi. The Cree, Chipewyan and Metis who lived out on the delta, hunting, trapping and coming to nearby Foot Chipewyan only for supplies, have had their traditional way of life destroyed. |
