You’ve hopefully seen the trailer for “In This Together, We Are One: The Buffalo Unity Project.” Now here is the film. MAPS Media Institute.

The Buffalo Unity Project is a program at Poplar Middle School on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation. The goal is to connect students to the importance of the buffalo to the Dakota and Nakoda People, and to teach them that communities thrive when they are united in common purpose.

Written and filmed by Poplar Middle School students, this film was produced with the instruction and collaboration of MAPS Media Institute. It was made possible by the Poplar School District and the generous support of the Greater Montana Foundation.

Thanks to Daniel TC Molloy, Michael Workman, and Tahj Kjelland for being amazing instructors for this project! Thanks to Jacob Turcotte and Morgan Norgaard at Poplar Middle School for making the project shine.
