Before fences, Buffalo roamed constantly — following migration routes, flash grazing across the landscape. Today we know they take in 25–27 lbs of forage in just 4–9 hrs/day. Efficient by nature. 🦬 #TradishTuesday #Buffalo

#TradishTuesday falling on St. Patrick’s Day is a good time to talk wiwíla man. They are tricksters in Lakota stories. You start missing things like those favorite earrings! It's a lesson to pay attention and move with awareness.

#TradishTuesday: Buffalo's low grazing style fits perfectly with short grasses. They take only what’s needed & move on, letting the land renew itself. A reminder of how balance & respect keep everything thriving. tankafund.org/donate

Tanka Fund launched at the Black Hills Powwow 11 years ago — and we were proud to return this year. “Powwow” comes from pau wau, meaning a sacred gathering. Once misused, now reclaimed — a celebration of resilience, song, and community. 🪶💃🏽 #TradishTuesday #TankaFund

#TradishTuesday: Prairie dogs aren’t pests — they’ve always lived alongside the Buffalo. From keeping grass fresh to creating homes for burrowing owls, they’re still vital partners on the prairie today. #Buffalo #Bison #TankaFund #Biodiversity

It's #TradishTuesday! The #Lakota word wówačhaŋtognake. Generosity w/o expectation. Buffalo gave everything so the people could live. We honor that teaching by restoring Buffalo to Native lands, lives, & economies. tankafund.org/donate

#TradishTuesday: Sweetgrass
Sweetgrass — peji wacanga in Lakota — is used in ceremony, prayer, & smudging to invite blessings & good energy. At the Buffalo to School Conference recently, a sweetgrass braid was passed like a talking stick.
