"... With the teaching of our way of life from the time of being, the First People were the Buffalo People, our ancestors which came from the sacred Black Hills, the heart of everything that is...I humbly ask all nations to respect our way of life, because in our prophecies, if there is no buffalo then life as we know it will cease to exist..."- Chief Arvol Looking Horse, 19th Generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe

We are interested in the preservation of Pte Oyate, the buffalo nation, and in its restoration to the cultures and ecosystems of our people. Since 1998, Honor the Earth has worked diligently for Pte Oyate. We work both to oppose the renewed slaughter of the Yellowstone buffalo herd—the genetically strongest buffalo herd in the United States—and to support grassroots Native buffalo restoration initiatives.
