Buffalo Roadshow comes to Snoqualmie’s Black Dog

Published 2:51 pm Thursday, October 9, 2014

The Buffalo Field Campaign Roadshow is 4 to 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 12, at The Black Dog Arts Cafe in Snoqualmie.

The show shares music, stories, video, and activism inspired by the Yellowstone bison.

Buffalo Field Campaign (BFC) is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization focused on protecting America’s last wild buffalo population. BFC lives and works in the lands where wild buffalo still roam, in southwestern Montana, and has become the leading source of news and information about them. BFC volunteers embark on daily field patrols, monitoring wild bison migration and document all actions made against them in an effort to raise awareness and gain permanent protection for this sacred, iconic species. BFC’s Road Show is one way they can bring the buffalo’s story to people and build advocacy for their defense.

The Yellowstone buffalo population is the last one to remain free of cattle-genes, and to still follow their migratory instincts. They are the only buffalo to have continuously lived on their historic habitat since prehistoric times.

Once roaming free in the tens of millions across North America, today, fewer than 4,000 wild buffalo are left in existence; these few are confined to Yellowstone and are under constant attack by livestock interests.
