RESOLUTION ADOPTED AT THE ANNUAL 

 MEETING, 1911, IN RECOGNITION OF 

 THE WORK OF THE CANADIAN 

 GOVERNMENT 



Whereas, The Canadian Government during the 

 past five years has taken very great interest in the fate 

 of the American Bison, has produced at great cost the 

 largest herd of bison in the world, has established this 

 herd, numbering nearly 1,000, on two great preserves, 

 Elk Park and Buffalo Park, respectively — the latter 

 containing 122,000 acres — and has done these things 

 with a view of insuring the permanent preservation and 

 increase of the American Bison, for which purpose this 

 society was organized; 



Therefore be it resolved, That we, the members of the 

 American Bison Society, in annual meeting assembled, 

 hereby express our highest appreciation of what the 

 Canadian Government has done for the cause of the 

 permanent preservation of the American Bison, and that 

 we recognize in the establishment of two great bison 

 ranges most important acts in the interest of the con- 

 servation of this the noblest of our quadrupeds, native 

 of American soil.
