In memory of Rick Trailman Gray Buffalo Today, October 26, 2010, our people will be burying a warrior of the 20 th and 21 st century, in the sacred Black Hills. That warrior is Rick Trailman Gray Buffalo. 48,273,000 acres ago we were a unified nation of peoples. The Ft Laramie Treaty of 1851 & 68 declared those 48 million acres to be Great Sioux Reservation territory. However, in the past several decades we have had to occupy those lands to remind the empire that we will continue to sacrifice ourselves so that our future generations will remember they are united as Lakota. Trailman was among those who offered to sacrifice to return to those 48 million acres. The Lakota Student Alliance would like to respectfully remember Rick “Trailman” Gray Buffalo. Trailman was given the name at Wounded Knee in 1973. On March 22, 1999, there was no strategic plan to occupy Laframbois Island in Pierre. There was no strategic meeting announced among our people.
