In Season 3 Episode 2: Nick Tilsen, NDN Collective CEO and Founder, sits down with the guys of Sacred Storm Buffalo to talk about their work, the importance of investing into community-led enterprises, and how the restoration of buffalo back into community is LANDBACK.
Sacred Storm Buffalo, a community-rooted and culturally grounded workforce development enterprise of the nonprofit Wambli Ska Okolakiciye, is dedicated to restoring strength, purpose, and connection for Native people and families through the art and discipline of Indigenous meat processing. The training and production center—opened last year with support from a $1.6 million investment through NDN Collective’s Indigenous-designed power-building loans—serves as a living blueprint for food sovereignty and self-determined economic renewal.
