This award-winning documentary, by Cree writer Dr. Tasha Hubbard, was filmed and produced by George Hupka of Downstream Pictures. It emphasises the spiritual and cultural importance of buffalo (bison) for Indigenous peoples and how as buffalo as a Key-stone species can be true “climate change fighters.”

This film illustrates the restorative role buffalo play in Indigenous culture and in ecological sustainability.
