Makes my heart happy to see all these Buffalo stories - and so many people tagging me or sending me emails with the stories

another story of the Buffalo returning to their ancestral land.

love reading these stories of the Buffalo returning to our lands.

Please share ! Event is today at 1:30 pm CST, link is in poster.

Our history is far more complex than current colonial history books propose. We were travellers, traders and adventurers. Great article.

Yes, of course they’ve adapted over thousands and thousand of years on this continent

Thank you MCoS and Rhonda Rosenberg for all your hard work! Thanks for bringing awareness on the work Buffalo People arts Institute is creating in our community.

One day the buffalo will return to our land here in Saskatchewan. My dream is that White Bear First Nation will have buffalo in the future !!

This video from RSM mentions the brain tanned buffalo robe we made for them in 2018. We are Honoured to be able to do this work for our community.

White Bear First Nation - hope to see some family and friends out this weekend. We won’t make you work if you just wanna come see what we are doing!

Dewdney’s name runs through the heart of Regina - do we really want our heart to be represented by this individual or should we celebrate this buffalo spirit; which is one of the most important reasons we are all still here 150 years after the almost complete wipeout of the buffalo. Our buffalo ancestors created us and we are resilient because of them. Let’s honour their spirit by honouring their legacy of their heart prints on our souls.

Please share! Come color some buffaloes and remind people we are the Tatanga Oyate - Buffalo Nation. Today at 1:00 pm at the corner of Garnet street and Dewdney Ave

Some buffalo medicine to share

We want to paint this town BUFFALO - let’s begin...this Saturday Oct 17 at 1:00 pm. See event link for more info! Please share!!!

Good morning! We are at White Bear band hall today 9 am till 4 pm if anyone wants to come deflesh and scrape the buffalo hide. This is one of four weekends we will be coming out.

I think it is important to question names and ways we say or interpret animals or places. It is good to know the root of where some names come from. Interesting point of views. Although, I wouldn’t just give credit to settlers for saving the buffalo. There were a number of Indigenous leaders who led the charge to stop the genocide - which influenced settler organizations to enact.

Working out on White Bear via an in person workshop this weekend! Looking forward to sharing the Buffalo teachings with my home community. Please share

Buffalo and Bison - good description of why they mean the same thing
