The Buffalo an American Symbol

 This week President Obama signed into law the National Bison Legacy Act (NBLA). With that action, he has lifted the spirits of Native Americans and created hope on our journey to renew bonds with our ancient friend and provider, the buffalo. This pivotal legislation – which makes the bison our national mammal — reaffirms this magnificent species’ connection to our country and all of its people.


The story of the buffalo and tribal people has been intertwined since time immemorial. After enjoying a prolonged period of peaceful co-existence, we both experienced centuries of persecution before finding our way back into each other’s lives. Traditionally, the buffalo provided everything native peoples needed to survive – from basics like food, clothing, and housing to a social structure based on maternal leadership and extended families.

The Environmental Benefits of Local Honey and Organic Honey

One of the more interesting things I learned on my visit to the local honey farm was how the local plant life factors into the honey-making process. The honey produced at the farm comes in different flavors, including the traditional wildflower, orange, and avocado. These flavors don’t come from additives, however. Instead, they are created based on the plants from which the bees draw pollen. Releasing the farm-raised bees into select local plant life not only creates some incredible honey flavors, but it also helps pollinate the plants, which is beneficial to all local wildlife. Besides benefiting the plant life, supporting local honey helps the bee population as well. Since bees are now endangered, it’s more vital than ever to support local bee farmers who are helping raise and maintain healthy bees.
