Oglala Lakota Women and Buffalo

For Great Plains Native Americans, Buffalo have meant everything. But in the late 1800s, US government hunted the buffalo almost to the extinction to primarily weaken the North American Natives. In this video, Oglala Lakota women talk about their connection to the buffalo today.

We also have a treaty with the British crown. But it took us years of war against them to show we were no push over. My people were warriors and won many battles and took on a empire that was determined to destroy us. My ancestors were war tacticians, dug trenches to hide from cannon fire,used gorilla warfare to protect my people. We share the same thing and i feel your hurt in knowing what happen to your way of life. Cause it happen to us aswell. We need to bring all native cultures together.

There is something about a Buffalo that has not been GMOed by the Eugenics Cult inbreed usuring bigots, particularly if it has not been fed GMOed seeds but rather grazed in a natural environment.

That something is rather fundamental.

It's meat is not then TOXIC to consumption by mankind.
