OTC celebrates buffalo transfer to Sask. First Nation – OTC

The Office of the Treaty Commissioner team was so pleased to attend the transfer of buffalo to their traditional territory on the Mosquito Grizzly Bear Head Lean Man First Nation at the end of January.

“We got bundled up with ski pants and everything because it was so cold, but worth it,” said Hailey Morin, a First Nations Youth Mentee at OTC.

“As the drivers were pulling up a group of Indigenous drummers were singing and smudging the buffalo. Then they opened the doors to let them free. They all came running one after another and some stopped and looked at us then continued their way.”

“It was a very emotional day. We all got goosebumps when the buffalo were being transferred,” said Elaine Sutherland, OTC Director of Education.
