VIDEO: Edward Iron Cloud III of Knife Chief Buffalo Society Ranch shares the profound significance of Buffalo to his people

Tanka rancher partner Edward Iron Cloud III of Knife Chief Buffalo Society Ranch reflects on the profound significance of Buffalo to his people. Buffalo represent a connection to their heritage, providing food, clothing, and shelter for thousands of years. Despite their diminished numbers, the presence of Buffalo offers both physical and spiritual strength. Harvesting a buffalo is a sacred act, done with prayer, ensuring that the meat is blessed. This blessed meat, when consumed, bestows strength and spiritual blessings on those who eat it. The Buffalo, therefore, is not only a vital resource but also a powerful symbol of resilience and spirituality.
