Documentary: Bring Them Home/Aiskótáhkapiyaaya

Documentary: Bring Them Home/Aiskótáhkapiyaaya

Saturday 10/19/24
2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Bring Them Home/Aiskótáhkapiyaaya chronicles a decades-long initiative by members of the Blackfoot Confederacy to bring wild buffalo (Blackfeet: iinnii) back to the Blackfeet Reservation. A thriving wild buffalo population would not only reconnect Blackfeet with a central part of their heritage, spirituality and identity, but would provide economic opportunities and healing for the community. Along the way, however, the initiative faces obstacles from ranchers who see the buffalo as a threat to the cattle ranches that dominate the land and are a legacy of colonization.

Viewing of this documentary will take place in the Dreyfus University Center Theater. View the trailer here.
