Honor Yellow Bird Woman with fulfillment of Cobell Settlement terms
Dear Reader:
I’m glad you are here to join me at Buffalo’s Fire, my new blog site named in memory of my mother, G. Janet Gunderson, who liked wild tiger lilies on the North Dakota prairie. She is the daughter of Larry Spotted Bear and Ollie Benson of Twin Buttes, N.D. I am a Mandan and Hidatsa from the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota. The Mandan word for tiger lilies is pti ta waraari, or “the buffalo’s fire.” I can imagine buffalo on the prairie on a cool spring evening, standing above blossoming tiger lilies.
Welcome to the buffalo’s fire.
