That’s something I think of all the time.” Elsie DuBray (@elsiedubray) of the Cheyenne River Lakota tribe is about to graduate Timber Lake High in Eagle Butte and will attend Stanford University in the fall. Earlier this week she won the High Plains Regional Science Fair and will compete at the Intel Science Fair in LA this May. “I chose to study the molecular properties of Buffalo [lipids] versus Beef. The Lakota people have known the benefits of Buffalo for centuries but without the science to prove this, it’ll be difficult to bring them back.” . . Elsie grew up on a Buffalo ranch owned and managed by her father and mother, Fred and Michelle DuBray. “It doesn’t seem like the western world takes traditional practices seriously,” said Fred who also founded the Inter Tribal Buffalo Cooperative. “But I think Elsie can use science to serve our people and tackle the problems that plague us - diabetes and other health issues. We were always healthy when we depended on the buffalo. We need to bring them back. When we can do that, our people will be ok.” . .
