“As Lipan Apache descendent, mother, sister, and nature loving woman, I have a vision to culturally revive and RECONNECT the relationship between Texas Tribes. Through our regenerative buffalo herd, data & food sovereignty initiatives, DNA project, community events, and programs; we would like to leave our descendants & descendants of all Texas Tribes, a legacy of health and happiness, now and for the future.” - Lucille Contreras, CEO and Founder of Texas Tribal Buffalo Project.
What is a Regenerative Herd?
A regenerative buffalo herd is a group of buffalo, raised in a way that mimics natural movement and behaviors, helping to heal the land grazed on. By roaming, the herd’s graze patterns naturally regenerate the soil, create healthier ecosystems, and encourage diversity of plant growth. We learn this from the past harmonic relationships our buffalo relatives had with the environment, by bringing back our native agriculture practices, we are creating a better future for all.
