For First Nations peoples, particularly those on the Great Plains, the buffalo (bison) is the literal and spiritual heartbeat of their culture. It symbolizes abundance, strength, resilience, and unity. The animal is revered as a relative that willingly sacrificed itself to sustain the people, the buffalo (bison) is sacred because it represents the ultimate provider. This reverence shapes culture, spirituality, and daily life. #buffalo #restoration #heritage #fyp #nativetiktok #indigenous

I took a class with traditional Māori weaver @alicespittle and it was so much fun. I learned so much about the skills and the traditions. Alice is such an important member of her community to. She runs some great programs that help with rehabilitation and also is just a genuinely good human. I highly recommend a class or a session with her. She is launching classes and best to visit her page for the details and on her website. How good did my basket turn out!
