Where Have All The Buffalo Gone? follows two souls through four Métis love stories in four distinct periods of Métis history.

We bear witness to the emergence of the Métis nations across the plains, the robust colonization that arises from the fur trade, the disappearance of the buffalo, and the political uprising of the Métis Association of Alberta in the 1930s. We begin during creation among the stars and end in present day. Where Have All The Buffalo Gone? shares the Callihoo family's stories and the diverse stories of Métis peoples in Alberta, incorporating fiddle music, jigging and a life size buffalo puppet. Inspired by true historical events of the Métis people of Canada, Where Have All The Buffalo Gone? explores the love, the loss and the fight of Treaty 6's Métis peoples and the lessons and love stories of the buffalo.
