Who We Are
The InterTribal Buffalo Council (ITBC) is a collection of 69 federally recognized Tribes from 19 different states whose mission is to restore buffalo to Indian Country in order to preserve our historical, cultural, traditional, and spiritual relationship for future generations. To reestablish healthy buffalo populations on Tribal lands is to reestablish hope for Indian people. By returning the buffalo to Tribal lands will help heal the land, the animal, and the spirit of the Indian people.

Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated and will be used to assist in the restoration of the Buffalo to American Indian Lands.
