Bring Them Home / Aiskótáhkapiyaaya chronicles a decades-long initiative by members of the Blackfoot Confederacy to reestablish a wild buffalo herd (Blackfeet: iinnii) on the Blackfeet Reservation. A thriving wild buffalo population on ancestral land would not only reconnect Blackfeet with a central part of their heritage, spirituality, and identity but would also provide learning opportunities and healing for the community. Along the way, however, the initiative faces a myriad of obstacles from ranchers and others who see the buffalo as a threat to cattle ranching, economic development, and a reflection of a dark legacy of colonization. The film explores the meaningful role buffalo play in a healthy ecosystem as it beautifully captures a powerful community-led journey toward renewal and healing.
Narrated by Lily Gladstone.
