Information contributed by the artist to the TMP
Home of the Buffalo is a haunting and lyrical film made with archival images (dated
between 1920-1940) from the Canadian prairies, timed to a narration about a trans
kid’s relationship to his father, and his family’s relationship to the Great Plains,
as a territory and as a colonial project.
