Wolakota is a project of the Rosebud Economic Development Corporation (REDCO), which is the wholly owned economic development arm of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe. REDCO is bringing Tatanka back to the people as a way to realize our vision of a healthy, helpful, and safe Oyate (nation).
REDCO is converting 28,000 acres of Rosebud Sioux Tribal lands from cattle to bison. The return of the bison will protect and strengthen the prairie ecosystem and create cultural opportunities for our community. As Lakota, we believe we are all related and it is our duty to create a better world for future generations.
