Every Part of the Buffalo Had a Purpose for Native Americans

"The Nature Conservancy has worked to fulfill Indigenous rematriation by returning buffalo to ancestral lands, transferring 1,800 buffalo to Indigenous communities since 2020, with over 600 this year alone."

"The relationship between buffalo and Native Americans is multifaceted, founded on love and respect, with various parts of the buffalo being used for food, clothing, and protection."

"Native Americans have displayed remarkable ingenuity in hunting buffalo, utilizing every part of the animal, thus exemplifying sustainable living and reflecting their spiritual and cultural beliefs."

"The buffalo is not only a food source but also a sacred element of many Indigenous traditions, underpinning the importance of rematriation in restoring balance to both communities and nature."
