About

Long ago the Blackfoot people lived in tipis and were nomadic. They followed the Inni "Buffalo" as their primary source for food, clothing and shelter. During a time when the Buffalo became scarce the Blackfoot people suffered a great famine. The Iniskim "Buffalo Stone" presented itself to a young Blackfoot woman and told her to use it and its song in ceremony promising in doing this the Buffalo would return. The woman took the Buffalo Stone back to her camp and provided it to the Old People who made ceremony with it and sang its song. This powerful stone called the Buffalo back to the Blackfoot people thus saving them from starvation.

The Buffalo Stone is considered sacred to the Blackfoot people, given to them by Creator to bring assistance, luck and prosperity so as to never be without.
