Buffalo have returned to Star Blanket Cree Nation. Yesterday, Star Blanket Cree Nation welcomed 15 buffalo back onto their lands in Treaty 4 territory following a journey from Alberta. Community members gathered throughout the day to witness the return, with drumming, ceremony, and celebration marking the beginning of a new chapter for the herd on the land. The 13 females and 2 males were transported from Carstairs, Alberta before being released yesterday. “The return of the buffalo represents far more than bringing animals back to the land. It is the restoration of culture, teachings, identity, and the sacred relationship between our Nations and the buffalo.” — Source: File Hills Qu’Appelle Tribal Council #Land | #Saskatchewan
