About ITBC

The InterTribal Buffalo Council

The InterTribal Buffalo Council (ITBC) is a collection of 80 tribes in 20 different states that facilitates the  management of over 20,000 buffalo. Our members manage more than 32 million acres of Tribal lands,  and have restored buffalo to nearly 1 million of those acres. From the large intact grasslands of  Montana, to the small desert herds of New Mexico, ITBC is committed to reestablishing buffalo herds on  Tribal lands in a manner that promotes cultural enhancement, spiritual revitalization, ecological  restoration, and economic development. Membership of ITBC always remains open and there is a  continued interest by non-member Tribes in joining the organization.
