Travel to the Blackfeet Nation with Defenders Of Wildlife to learn about their Cultural Buffalo Herd.
Video Transcript:
Chamois:
To the Buffalo.
This is probably a good distance, so we can make sure that they’re they feel safe and they’re not going to
take off.
It’s that respect. You know that we’ve got our long lenses to observe them and see how they’re grazing and interacting.
Chazz:
You know, when I was a little kid, you could see, like, everybody was kind of knew about Buffalo, but not really. Being with the Buffalo is something that, you know, you’re you’re helping them out, establish all these things they’re supposed to be here too. These are powerful animals.
Chamois:
You know, 150 years without buffalo and hearing the stories. But now to have them back in pretty significant numbers, at least for Blackfeet, not obviously not like history, but Blackfeet’s a leader, in bringing them back in large scale and dedicating lands for having that dietary resource again with their community – it’s a beautiful thing. You know that these are Blackfeet herd animals. Like, to me, that’s a tremendous intrinsic value. Is that reciprocity that trying to make up for our atrocities of the past, knowing the Blackfeet are doing amazing.
Ervin:
That’s why Defenders we’ve been so like, honored to be a partner. Yeah, we really are grateful for Defenders and Chamois always, you know, being here and helping us out with the things that we’re doing. And so I would that’s a good partnership too that we’re grateful of.
