This Native Nonprofit Day, we invite you to support the Texas Tribal Buffalo Project (TTBP)—an Indigenous-led nonprofit in Texas restoring Buffalo lifeways, reclaiming ancestral land, and rebuilding Native food systems across the Southern Plains.

When you support Native-led organizations like ours, you’re investing in climate resilience, generational healing, and a future led by Indigenous knowledge and food sovereignty.

We’re also proud to be the only Bison ranch in the country that accepts EBT SNAP Benefits, making healthy, native-raised Buffalo meat accessible to more families than ever before.

Here are three active campaigns you can support today:


1. The Original Protein: Eat and Buy Buffalo

Support Buffalo Rematriation. Use EBT SNAP to Buy Native-Raised Bison.

Our campaign to rematriate the Buffalo is more than a food movement—it’s a spiritual, ecological, and political act. We invite you to eat and buy Bison raised by Native producers.

Your support helps us:

  • Restore kinship with the Buffalo Nation

  • Strengthen Native food systems in Texas

  • Build a market for Native-raised Bison meat

Did you know?

You can use EBT SNAP Benefits to buy our healthy, pasture-raised Bison meat. We’re the only Bison ranch in the U.S. accepting SNAP/EBT, making it easier for families to eat Indigenous, local protein.


2. Iyane’e House Fund – Phase 1: Safe Space, Big Vision

Help Build a Cultural Hub for Buffalo, Land, and Learning

The Iyane’e House will serve as a space for Buffalo care education, Indigenous foodways, and regenerative agriculture. But first, we need to make it safe and functional.

We’re raising $2,000 to complete critical structural repairs.

Your donation will:

  • Create a culturally rooted gathering space

  • Support intergenerational land-based learning

  • Lay the foundation for long-term programming


3. Land Back in Texas: 150 Acres Reclaimed

Support Land Stewardship on the TTBP Floresville Ranch

On February 6, 2025, we will move onto 150 acres of returned land—the Carney Family Ranch, made possible by the Texas Conservation Fund.

We’re raising $300,000 over the next three years to support this reclamation.

Your support helps us:

  • Care for Buffalo on ancestral land

  • Grow Native-led agriculture and Indigenous foodways

  • Host land-based education, ceremony, and healing

Why Support Texas Tribal Buffalo Project?

We’re not just running campaigns—we’re leading a movement for Indigenous food sovereignty, land rematriation, and Buffalo restoration in Texas.

Your donation helps us:

  • Hire Indigenous staff outside of extractive funding models

  • Grow a regenerative, land-based economy

  • Expand access to Buffalo meat through EBT SNAP purchases
