BUFFALO NATIONThe Critically Acclaimed film that takes you inside the hearts and minds of the Lakota Nation…Buffalo Nation: The Children Are Crying tells the story of the Lakota Nation from their hearts and minds. The Lakota Sioux (and many other indigenous Nations) are forced to live on the “Reservation,” a designated prisoner of war camp. This movie is a saga of displacement, neglect, deprivation, abolishment of traditional beliefs, language, mores and culture. Yet, despite the many challenges,   the Lakota will not give up!

Buffalo Nation is their story and is told by the Lakota People themselves.

“Buffalo Nation: The Children Are Crying” focuses on the devastation in which the Sioux Nation children are forced to live while also exploring the history, spirituality and values of the indigenous Sioux tribe.” – Long Island Exchange
