Watch Dr. Tasha Hubbard's documentary, which highlights current efforts by allies and activists to replenish the buffalo population of the Great Plains. In addition to providing the historical background behind how and why buffalo populations were decimated, the film also follows the present-day quest to right the relationship between humans, buffalo and the land.
Jordan Carrier is a proud nêhiyaw-iskwêw—Plains Cree woman—born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan and a member of Piapot First Nation in Treaty Four territory.

The first Hamilton Public Library building opened on September 16, 1890 by the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen on the north side of Main Street West. In 1913, a new main library opened. This building was replaced in 1980 by Central Library, at the current location on York Boulevard.
In 2010, Central Library re-opened after approximately 18 months of renovations. Central Library opened with a newly revitalized first floor, which includes a Community Living Room that takes advantage of natural light. The Ontario Library Association honoured Central in 2012 with an Architectural and Design Transformation award.
