Look at their online store to as donations go towards the care and raising of the Texas Tribal Buffalo Project’s (“TTBP”) buffalo. The TTBP is embarking on a project to restore the historical relationship and cultural identity implicit in the Lipan Apache-bison relationship, to restore bison as the primary source of proteins for Lipan Apache Texans and to make bison meat and other products accessible to all South Texans and perhaps other states. As part of the restorative process they will begin to offer the San Antonio and surrounding communities the soul recharging experience of being around our magnificent 4 legged indigenous relatives. They are developing a program to provide urban youth an opportunity to observe an example of restorative agriculture, and to learn the relationship between the land, animals and humans and the interdependent wellbeing of all.
