Returning the buffalo to the people


This documentary tells the story of the Blackfoot people striving to re-establish wild buffalo on tribal land in Montana after 100 years of absence. 

The film recounts efforts to restore buffalo, land, traditional culture and bring healing to the Blackfeet community. 

All my relations.

Narrated and executive produced by Oscar nominee, Blackfeet/Nez Perce actor, Lily Gladstone, the film has been an audience favorite at festivals. 

The US Army sent sharpshooters on trains across the western prairies to shoot the buffalo in order to starve the native people. These were the kinds of signs that the native people witnessed that made them know the white people were spiritually disconnected from Mother Earth and were capable of destroying all nature and life.
