THE GRASSLANDS
"The prairie grasslands of "North America" are the life and blood of the Indigenous Nations, they are a part of Grandmother Earth in all Her Sacredness. She provides the food, the grasses and plants for the four leggeds: the buffalo, deer, and the antelope, to name a few. She provides the life giving breath of air, for all creatures and she provides the medicinal plants for those who still remember."

PROTECT THE PRAIRIE PLANTS AND ANIMALS
Upon the northern great plains of Great Turtle Island are the good ‘friends’ of the Ptehcaka "Buffalo" - the sacred “Pis pis'a” (pronounced “peez peez ah”) or “Prairie Dog” villages. Like the Coyote, the Golden Eagle, and the Ptehcaka, the Pis pis'a is misunderstood and is an endangered species on the verge of extinction.
