Bring Them Home/Aiskótáhkapiyaaya

Directed by Ivy MacDonald and Daniel Glick, 2024 
Documentary, 79 minutes

In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, the Modern is excited to present a special screening of Bring Them Home/Aiskótáhkapiyaaya, in partnership with Intertribal Community Council of Texas.

Bring Them Home/Aiskótáhkapiyaaya chronicles a decades-long initiative by members of the Blackfoot Confederacy to bring wild buffalo (iinnii) back to the Blackfeet Reservation. A thriving wild buffalo population would not only reconnect Blackfeet with a central part of their heritage, spirituality, and identity but would also provide economic opportunities and healing for the community. Along the way, however, the initiative faces obstacles from ranchers who see the buffalo as a threat to the cattle ranches that dominate the land and are a legacy of colonization.

This event is free and open to the public.
