Wóphila Thánka: Tanka Fund rancher partner Alex Romero

We’re sharing voices from our communities, events, and partners reflecting on gratitude. In this video, we hear from Alex Romero-Frederick, who, along with her husband Wayne Frederick, runs Rez Raised — Tanka rancher partners on the Rosebud Reservation in SD.

Because of you:

• We span over 50,000+ acres across 8 states

• We work directly with 20 Native Buffalo ranchers

• We provide grants, fencing, equipment, livestock, and technical services

• Since 2020, over 2,500 Buffalo have returned to Indigenous communities through partnership efforts

As a thank you, supporters who give $500 or more will receive the Infinity Journey of the Buffalo Blanket, with additional gifts shared throughout the year with participating donors and community members. Gratitude in Action continues — and every act of support keeps this work moving forward.
