About the Event More information on Wilder Buffalo - Buffalo and Ben Wilder Buffalo is a monthly concert / conversation event which takes place on the land. A collaboration between Oyate Hotanin, Strong Buffalo and Ben Weaver it began back in 2018 in the Twin Cities. They created Wilder Buffalo because they saw that people needed more opportunities to connect with each other outside. To witness, share, and build trust. To support each other in actively establishing imaginative ways to heal and build anti-racist, anti-extractive culture. After all, this is the role of the imagination and art, to heal and create. How does a Wilder Buffalo event work?: Wilder Buffalo events are always free and held outside in public space. There is an Eventbrite page where you can register. Once you register you will immediately be emailed a pin location for where the concert will be held. You are then invited to join one of the group bike rides to the concert location or to navigate yourself to the event location however you feel most comfortable. How is Wilder Buffalo Connected to the Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon?: Since 2019 a group has been riding the marathon on fat tire bicycles. They stop at the Sawbill check point and volunteer to help the mushers as they come through. They do this to build community around winter and to celebrate the stories of the people, plants, water and animals, who have and continue to live here.
