We can’t find any buffalos.
The Lakota people have a reunion of the council of the wise.
We can"t just eat weeds and corn!
The Great Spirit watches the Lakota suffering.
Go and help the Lakota find the buffalo. Who are you, spirit?
We must tell the wise. Hurry!
Immediately! I’m Buffalo Girl. I’m here to help your people.
