Who is WHITE BUFFALO, Inc. ?

We are a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit wildlife management and research organization dedicated to conserving native species and ecosystems through damage and population control. Our approach is unique, in that we generate funding for conservation research by providing management alternatives in non-traditional settings.

Why "WHITE BUFFALO" ?

Native American legend tells of the White Buffalo Woman who offered a sacred pipe to a Dakota tribe, explaining that the pipe symbolized that all things were connected. Its purpose was to remind people of their tie to nature, what nature gives and what should be done in return. It is our hope that our approach to ecosystem management and our research will help conserve and enhance the remaining natural environments.
