- Title
"THE BUFFALOES ARE GONE" OR "RETURN: BUFFALO"? - THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE BUFFALO TO INDIGENOUS CREATIVE EXPRESSION.
- Authors
Hubbard, Tasha
- Abstract
While the depletion of the Buffalo has been understood as a contributing factor in the subjugation of plains Indigenous people, what has had less attention is the attack on the integral relationship between the Buffalo and Indigenous people. This relationship, like other relationships between the natural world and Indigenous people, brings together animal and human into a symbiotic relationship that incorporates respect, survival, spirituality and cultural expression. By replacing the value of stories about the Buffalo, we can reinstate this animal and others as sites of learning, which can then result in a revitalization of creativity and literary expression.
