Tell Congress: Pass the Tribal Heritage and American Bison, Grizzly Bear, and Wolf Restoration and Coexistence Act!

American bison, grizzly bears, and gray wolves are three of the country’s most treasured mammals representing our nation’s heritage and wilderness. They also hold important cultural significance to several Indigenous peoples of North America.

Sadly, cruel trophy hunters have been violently killing these sacred creatures for centuries to the point of eradication from most of their history range. Today, these three national icons are still THREATENED.

A new bill has just been introduced called the Tribal Heritage and American Bison, Grizzly Bear, and Wolf Restoration and Coexistence Act (also known as The Trinity Act).

This groundbreaking legislation aims to restore balance to our broken ecosystems, recover three beloved keystone species, and make progress in respecting the rights of Tribal Nations by strengthening land stewardship and respecting their leadership in safeguarding these vulnerable animals and their habitats.

In an effort to prioritize and expedite this landmark legislation, we’re urgently calling on 4,000 more activists to urge their Congress members to pass The Trinity Act. Will you sign our petition by 11:59 P.M. tonight to help ensure this historic bill is passed?

Dear {contact_data~title} {contact_data~lastName},

I am writing to you today in support of the Tribal Heritage and American Bison, Grizzly Bear, and Wolf Restoration and Coexistence Act (also known as “The Trinity Act”).

American bison, grizzly bears, and gray wolves are three of the country’s most treasured mammals representing our nation’s heritage and wilderness. They also hold important cultural significance to several Indigenous peoples of North America.

This legislation seeks to establish permanent federal protections for these three iconic keystone species and expand recovery efforts and coexistence measures. Additionally, the bill would enhance existing tribal management authorities over these species by creating oversight committees that work in unison with tribes to identify tribal lands suitable for possible reintroduction efforts.

For far too long, U.S. federal policy has systematically FAILED to honor our treaties with Tribal Nations, which has resulted in irreparable harm to Indigenous peoples, significant cultural loss, and devastating ecological damage.

The Trinity Act is a chance for our government to recognize the knowledge, leadership, and authority of Tribal Nations in managing their lands and safeguarding iconic species.

I urge you to please prioritize the passage of this landmark bill that would have significant benefits to ecosystems, tribal communities, public lands and keystone species.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
