Texas Tribal Buffalo Project Featured in Matador Network for National Bison Month

We’re honored that Matador Network featured the Texas Tribal Buffalo Project, led by founder and CEO Lucille Contreras, as a top destination to experience bison conservation during National Bison Month. Recognized for its powerful model of buffalo rematriation, Indigenous-led restoration, and women-centered leadership, your project stands out in the national conversation about Indigenous food sovereignty and decolonial ecological stewardship.

Under Lucille’s leadership, the Texas Tribal Buffalo Project offers guided tours near San Antonio that allow visitors to meet a bison herd and engage with Indigenous women reclaiming Indigenous land and food systems. These walking tours spotlight Native women’s voices, emphasize buffalo’s cultural and ecological significance, and offer insight into restoring buffalo habitat in the South in ways that prioritize Indigenous knowledge and empowerment.

To experience this intersection of culture, land, and wildlife stewardship—book your tour now and join Lucille and her team in fostering a more just, regenerative, and trailblazing model of conservation.
