Tanka Fund will join Tribal leaders, producers, and national partners in Washington, DC for the Bison 250 Executive Branch Outreach — part of a broader national reflection marking 250 years of the United States. However our foucs remaines exclusively centered on Buffalo, the United States national animal.

Throughout the week, we’ll engage with federal partners at the Departments of Interior and Agriculture to advance priorities around grazing access, Tribal land use, processing, herd health, and long-term restoration efforts.

This work goes beyond policy. It’s about continuing the return of Buffalo to Native lands and strengthening the systems that support them — now and for generations to come.
