We're calling on our community to walk the land with us๐ŸŒพ

On Saturday, May 30, we're hosting a volunteer highway cleanup outside Waelder, TX, and we want you there!

We will cover up to 2.5 miles of Texas highway together. TxDOT provides the safety gear. We provide the water and a light lunch.

Meet us at the gazebo across the street from Crossvine Market in Waelder at 9AM.
Closed-toe shoes, a hat, and sunscreen are a must. No pets, please.

If your group needs volunteer hours, this is a perfect fit.

For generations, our people have been separated from the Land, from the practices, the knowledge, and the livelihoods that sustained us.

We are proud to share that TTBP has received a SEDS grant from the Administration for Native Americans to launch the first Indigenous-led, land-based workforce training program in Texas. On our ranch in Floresville, Native youth and adults will earn real credentials in regenerative agriculture and butchery, all while deepening their relationship with Buffalo, with the Land, and with each other.

This is what rematriation looks like in practice.

Thank you to everyone who has believed in this work. This is for our people. This is for the Land. This is for the Buffalo.

The Buffalo Harvest doesn't begin on Wednesday. It begins now, in the quiet work of hands preparing the Land, of Elders and young hearts moving together with intention and care.

Today, our ranch was full of that kind of energy!

We are deeply grateful to every person who will join us this week. And if you feel called to support, $25 helps cover a meal at the Harvest.

Chef Elena brought incredible skill, care, and leadership to last year's harvest, guiding participants through every step of the process with patience and precision.

Her deep respect for the Buffalo and commitment to teaching made the experience both seamless and special. This year, you'll have the opportunity to work directly alongside her. Learn traditional and modern butchering techniques. Ask questions. Get hands-on guidance. Whether you're new to harvest work or looking to deepen your skills, Chef Elena creates space for everyone to learn at their own pace.

This isn't just about meat processing; it's about honoring the Buffalo, feeding our communities, and preserving knowledge that sustains us.

We are officially sold out of tickets for this year's harvest, but you can continue to support this event directly by becoming a community sponsor: https://secure.givelively.org/donate/texas-tribal-buffalo-project/help-us-bring-the-2026-southern-plains-buffalo-harvest-to-life

Join Texas Tribal Buffalo Project and Indigenous Led's Buffalo Beyond Borders for a traditional Buffalo Harvest honoring the life and sustenance these sacred relatives provide. Together, we'll butcher and harvest Buffalo meat for donation to the San Antonio Health Equity Network and our Meat for Mamas program. Throughout the day, gather for Tipi Talks led by the women rematriating Buffalo on the Southern Plains.

This intertribal, intergenerational gathering takes place on 150 acres of rematriated and reclaimed land in Floresville, Texas.

We ask for a donation in lieu of tickets, with $25 as our suggested contribution. If you're able to pay, please do; it helps us fund the event. ๐ˆ๐Ÿ ๐œ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐š ๐›๐š๐ซ๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ซ, ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž ๐œ๐จ๐๐ž ๐๐ˆ๐’๐Ž๐๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”.
