Little can be done to contain a deadly outbreak of anthrax among bison in a northern sanctuary, say experts.

"All you can really do to control anthrax in wildlife populations is to burn and bury the carcasses to prevent spores from spreading," said veterinarian Brett Elkin.

Approximately 90 bison in the Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary have died from the highly contagious disease. Sanctuary officials have mobilized an emergency response team to locate and destroy carcasses to minimize the spread of anthrax among the 2,000 bison in the park.

When I was growing up, my mother used to tell me about how much things had changed on the reserve since she was a kid. There were stories about hauling countless pails of water from the pump, chopping wood, fighting swarms of Indian-loving mosquitoes (without the benefit of OFF), wading through armpit-high snow to get to the outhouse while battling hungry wolves.
