Buffalo Gardens

Buffalo Gardens is a land-based initiative rooted in Cheyenne River, created to bring our community back together through food, culture, and shared experiences.

Buffalo Gardens was created from our decision to return home and reconnect our children to community, land, and culture.

Through our work with Zuya Sica Consulting, serving tribal nations across the Great Plains, we have seen both the successes and the gaps within our communities. We have witnessed our leaders carrying heavy responsibilities and becoming worn down, while our youth are seeking stronger connections to identity and purpose.

Buffalo Gardens is our response—creating a space where community members, leaders, and youth can come together to reconnect, learn, and grow.
