Singing Back the Buffalo

Award-winning Cree filmmaker Tasha Hubbard explores the deep connection between the Indigenous people of the Great Plains and the buffalo that once flourished in the region.

Focussing on the Indigenous movement to re-introduce the animal to the prairies and restore the age-old bond, Hubbard reflects on what the return of the buffalo might mean for future generations.

“The film tells a prophecy of the buffalo’s return, a vision that is already unfolding before our eyes.” Kayla Macinnis, IndigiNews
