In “Erasure Is Not Our Future,” Lucille Contreras, founder of the Texas Tribal Buffalo Project, addresses the abrupt termination of AmeriCorps funding, which impacted over half of the organization’s staff. Despite this setback, the project remains steadfast in its mission to rematriate the Southern Plains, restore buffalo populations, and revitalize Indigenous foodways. Contreras emphasizes the community’s resilience and calls for support through donations, purchasing buffalo meat, and volunteering, reaffirming that Indigenous sovereignty and cultural restoration will persevere beyond colonial systems.
