Bison
Restoration
Did you know that prior to colonization there were 30-60 million free roaming bison on the plains? The US slaughtered so many bison that by the end of the 1700's there were roughly 450 bison left in the country. Currently there are only 15,000 free roaming bison in the US.
Bison hold a deep cultural and spiritual significance for many Indigenous peoples, representing not only a sacred connection to our heritage, but also a source of nourishment and sustenance. Bison is not only a cornerstone of Native diets, but also plays a deeply symbolic role in reconnecting our people to their cultural roots and traditions.
Despite its historical importance and nutritional benefits, bison meat is challenging to obtain for Native people in our communities. Sacred Return is working to address this gap by providing bison meat to Native people in Denver. To sustain and grow this program we are seeking generous partners for support.
If you would like to support us in making our vision to provide nourishing and cultural significant food to Native families a reality, please reach out to us.
