Where Have All The Buffalo Gone? is a Métis love-story that transcends time to safeguard history!

Follow two star people and a Buffalo as they fall to earth and continue to reconnect throughout history. This play covers seven different periods of Métis history and bears witness to the emergence of the Métis nations across the plains, the robust colonization that arises from the fur trade, and the disappearance of the buffalo and the political uprising of the Métis Association of Alberta. The story begins during creation amongst the stars and ends in the present day.

Where Have All The Buffalo Gone? specifically shares scenarios from the Callihoo family’s stories, incorporating fiddle music, jigging and a life-like buffalo puppet. Inspired by historical events of the Métis people of Canada, this original play for young audiences explores the loves, the losses and the fight of Treaty 6’s Métis people – and their love and kinship to the buffalo.
