The Iinnii Initiative restores buffalo (iinnii) to traditional homelands, blending Indigenous knowledge, ecological science, and cross-border collaboration with Blackfoot (Niitsitapi), Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika communities. The project revitalizes land, strengthens food sovereignty, and renews sacred relationships with this keystone species.
