Buffalo People Arts Institute Buffalo People Arts Institute is about sharing traditional Indigenous teachings and knowledge and nurturing it every day so our culture thrives.

Not too long ago we, as Indigenous People, were connected to the buffalo in a way that made us reliant on them for our survival. The buffalo are strong and resilient and are the true Natives of this land. They roamed this land in vast herds and we followed them. We would camp around their herds and hunt them for food, shelter, clothing, cooking utensils, sewing materials, spiritual ceremonies and honour them for allowing us the privilege of sharing in their essence of being and every sacred part of them in our day to day lives. Because of this heavy reliance on them for survival when they were taken from this land our hearts were taken away too. Our strength and determination to survive remains strong because we have blood memory of those times when the buffalo and our people shared this territory called Canada. They are making their return figuratively and literally and our hearts grow stronger and we are succeeding and becoming a strong buffalo nation. We remember our heritage and our ancestors as we are preparing the future and laying the groundwork for the ones yet unborn. Through arts and culture we will tap into those blood memories and re-learn what is inside us to share with others to help them to succeed until all of us are successful and leaders in our family and community. Sharing our buffalo knowledge.

There is so much more education needed in our classrooms and homes to honor the stories of the survivors of residential schools. We must listen to them and believe them when they share their stories and what they experienced.

Please share! Our annual Halloween Party is coming up next month!

Sept 18 in Lower Manhattan, New York City

With the support of the International Buffalo Relations Institute (I am a board member of) and The MacKenzie Art Gallery (my work time) and the Buffalo People Arts Institute I was able to travel to New York City with my husband Lorne and my daughter WiYanna to witness and walk with the Buffalo as they took over part of Manhattan Sept 18. Envisioned by Amir Nizar Zuabi and his team to honor the Buffalo with the Lenape and Lakota peoples and other Indigenous and People of Color and allies they took over the streets! It was inspirational, historical, reconciliation in action, mesmerizing and heart felt. I can’t believe we are here! We are blessed and our ancestors are here with us! I will share all the videos and photos I took - I can’t just share one! Please help us bear witness too ❤️❤️❤️
