About the film
Bring Them Home/Aiskótáhkapiyaaya chronicles a decades-long initiative by members of the Blackfoot Confederacy to bring wild buffalo (Blackfeet: iinnii) back to the Blackfeet Reservation. A thriving wild buffalo population would not only reconnect Blackfeet with a central part of their heritage, spirituality, and identity but would also provide economic opportunities and healing for the community. Along the way, however, the initiative faces obstacles from ranchers who see the buffalo as a threat to the cattle ranches that dominate the land and are a legacy of colonization.

About the space
The Elk Auditorium (also referred to as the Elk Clan Auditorium) is housed in the Hų̄wą (Elk) Clan Building on LPTC’s main campus. This building contains faculty offices, classrooms, and the auditorium. It’s situated beyond the Wolves Den (the college cafeteria/student lounge) and behind the main administrative and academic building.
The space seats approximately 75 people, offering an intimate but functional event area.
The setup includes long tables, making it versatile: it is utilized as a classroom, workshop room, or a more formal event space.
