The American buffalo is a symbol of strength and resilience in American culture[1]. The decimation of millions of bison in the 1800s had a devastating impact on Native American people and society[2]. Today, bison are central to many Native American traditions, spiritual rituals, and healthy diets, and more than 60 tribes are working to bring back their sacred Brother Buffalo to their families, lands, and ways of life[2]. The American buffalo is also the subject of documentaries and films that highlight its history and significance[1][3][4].
