This past weekend, BFC hosted activists from across Turtle Island for a four-day gathering. The event was focused on serious resistance to the global culture that is destroying the planet. The same thing that is happening to the Buffalo is happening to so many other non-human people, human cultures, and natural areas. These atrocities are everywhere. Our resistance has to be everywhere, too—and it has to be smart.

The first two days were intensive strategy sessions for committed activists, while the second two days focused on concrete skills for frontline resisters. Participants left with a new set of skills to help them defend the buffalo and the land. Warriors to the front!

All newcomers to BFC were blown away by the natural beauty of this land, the generosity of our hosts, and the spirit that pervades headquarters. BFC volunteers led a field trip and three mama Buffalo were spotted with their babies. They reminded us who we are fighting for. The land is the center of our ethical worldview. The more people who fall in love with these beings and their land, the better.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported for your work! We look forward to seeing some of those who attended this training back at camp for the field season.
