The species \u003cem\u003eBison bison \u003c\/em\u003eis commonly called the buffalo, and is uniquely tied to American history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor millennia, the ways of the Native Great Plains peoples were intertwined with the buffalo’s. Tribes crafted hides into clothing and tipis and bones and horns into tools. As settlers pressed westward throughout the 1800s, millions of buffalo were reduced to hundreds. Since the early 20th century, passionate efforts have replenished herds at Yellowstone National Park and other parks and refuges, and tribal nations are also restoring wild herds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe engraved 1923 \u003cem\u003eAmerican Buffalo\u003c\/em\u003e stamp served as a starting point for art director Greg Breeding, who adapted the artwork of the vintage 30-cent stamp to reflect today’s Forever\u003cspan class=\"legal-mark\"\u003e®\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003erate.
