When we found the herd, one of the bulls—a kolas (friend)—kept presenting himself and making that low buffalo rumbling. He’d just stand there, outside the herd. Us adults were trying to keep the kids quiet. They all started pointing and saying, “Look at that one buffalo!” They were so excited. Meanwhile, the medicine man was singing the whole time. The bull went back into the herd, but we could still hear him rumbling. The third time he came out, that’s when the harvest team took him. The rest of the herd stayed calm.” Cheyenne River Sioux (Lakota) community leader and @wildideabuffalo Plant Manager Chris White Eagle talks about the importance of buffalo in his life and shares a special experience with the youth from the local teen center—a traditional buffalo hunt.
