7 new Native Buffalo rancher partners join Tanka Fund

Written By Chris Wynne

We are happy to announce that 7 new Native Buffalo caretaker partners have joined Tanka Fund. The addition of these ranchers increases our partner network to 24 ranchers and expands our national footprint to 8 states.

We would like to welcome:

  • Carrie Lehi, Hotoa LLC, El Reno, OK

  • Chad Steven Marchand, Marchand Bison Company LLC, Tucson, AZ

  • Gina Roxas, TCC Bison, Schaumburg, IL

  • Lee Emery Voigt, Voigt Ranch, Garrison, ND

  • Timothy Harjo, Sovereign Ranch LLC, Apache, OK

  • Jeff Caskey, Milburn, OK

  • Mike Puckett, Redwater Ranch, Kyle, SD

As part of their onboarding, each of our new partners will receive a small initial grant to support existing ranch or start-up operations, and they are immediately eligible to access Tanka Fund’s full range of services and opportunities.

“We are always looking for more Native ranchers to work with,” said Dawn Sherman, executive director of Tanka Fund. “Our long-term goal is to partner with at least 100 Native Buffalo ranchers or more, so we are thrilled to have all of these caretakers come aboard. The more we work together, the more Buffalo we can return to the lands, lives and economies of Native people.”
