Honouring the Buffalo is the story of how the Buffalo gifted themselves so freely through the Creator to the Plains Cree people to help them survive. Discover how every part of the buffalo was used to provide shelter, food, clothing, tools, hunting, spiritual ceremonies and many other necessities.

The oral legend is shared by  Storyteller and Wisdom Keeper Raymond Lavallee of the Piapot First Nation.
