Buffalo’s Fire and Grey Willow Studios will document oral histories from families, descendants, veterans and visitors during the 150th anniversary commemoration of the Battle of the Greasy Grass
Buffalo’s Fire will record family histories during the 150th anniversary of the Battle of the Greasy Grass, scheduled for June 24-26, 2026, according to an event announcement. The news organization plans to establish a recording location in the main tipi encampment and will work with Grey Willow Studios to document stories.
Family stories will be recorded in pairs. Buffalo’s Fire is inviting families, descendants, veterans and visitors to share oral histories during the commemoration. The project aims to preserve those stories for future generations. The Indigenous Media Freedom Alliance, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, publishes Buffalo’s Fire News, according to the announcement.
