The buffalo, also known as the American bison (Bison bison), is a keystone species in the ecological sense, and it is also central to Indigenous cultures, economies, health, and all aspects of life.
“The Buffalo: A Treaty of Cooperation, Renewal and Cooperation” was first signed in 2014 as a formal agreement and recognition that “The Buffalo is keystone to the maintenance of life ways of cooperation, kindness, renewal, and sharing amongst and between peoples.” Since then, over 30 signatories have joined the Buffalo Treaty, including the Eastern Shoshone Tribe in 2019 and the Northern Arapaho Tribe in 2022.
