McKee Preservation Group to show ‘Singing Back the Buffalo’ documentary

The McKee Preservation Group, which is raising funds for a planned Native American Cultural & Environmental Center at Churchill Woods Forest Preserve in Glen Ellyn, is hosting a screening of the 2024 documentary film “Singing Back the Buffalo.”

It will be shown at 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 3, at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church’s Mahon Hall, 393 N. Main St. in Glen Ellyn.

A discussion with light refreshments will follow. A $10 donation is suggested at the door.

As described on the website buffalosong.com, award-winning Cree filmmaker Tasha Hubbard’s feature length documentary film follows Indigenous visionaries, scientists and communities who are rematriating the buffalo to the heart of the North American plains they once defined, signaling a turning point for Indigenous nations, the ecosystem, and all of our collective survival.
