Bison, Tatanka Oyate are more than food-they are sacred, they are relatives. Restoration helps heal generational wounds, revives cultural practices, and supports regenerative ecosystems. Bison restore the land, and in return, they help us to restore ourselves.

Healing With the Buffalo: Patti Harris

In this moving video, Patty Harris, Native Artist, Storyteller and wife of Jason Baldes of the Wind River Tribal Buffalo Initiative, shares her powerful perspective on the healing journey guided by the buffalo. Speaking from the heart, Patty reflects on how bison restoration is not just about land or animals—but about reclaiming identity, strength, and sacred balance as a Native woman.  Her words offer deep wisdom on intergenerational healing, the role of women in tribal resilience.
