Ingenium â?? Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation, together with the Buffalo Culture Collective, invites media to attend the Wahkohtowin: Buffalo and Moose Hide Experience at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum in Ottawa. This Indigenous-led educational event invites visitors to prepare two buffalo hides and one moose hide for tanning. A special presentation on September 26 at 10 a.m. invites participation in the hide preparation process alongside a group of young students.
Running from September 24 to October 2, 2025, this program highlights cultural revitalization through hands-on learning about buffalo science and the history of buffalo on Turtle Island. Wahkohtowin is a Cree word signifying the interconnectedness of all things, emphasizing kinship and relationships within the natural world.
