Since 1974, the tribes of Fort Belknap have been rebuilding a buffalo herd as part of their wildlife management program. Beginning with 27 buffalo, tribal members have worked hard to strengthen their herd. Our Snake Butte Buffalo Pasture encompasses approximately 22,000 acres and has 500+ head of Buffalo.

We also feature a pure genetic herd from the Yellowstone park. These buffalo can also be viewed on one of our tours as well.

Snake Butte, the imposing wall of rock that looms over the buffalo reserve, has great cultural significance to the tribes. Petroglyphs and tipi rings can be found there.
