Buffalo Grande Foundation Ribbon Cutting

Buffalo Grande Foundation celebrates with Ribbon Cutting in Hettinger

 

Buffalo Grande Foundation will meet in Centennial Square on Main Street in Hettinger, March 13, 2024, to cut the ribbon announcing the publishing of their worldwide website. 

Stacey LaComte, director of the North Dakota Tribal Tourism Alliance, will be on hand to share the ribbon cutting. With her will be Les Thomas of the Turtle Mountain Chippewa, who has worked with tourism for many years.

"Building a Bridge of partnership and collaboration with the Buffalo Grande Foundation allows our Tribal Nations to share and tell our stories with our own voices,” said LaComte. “This new partnership will provide education and awareness about our Tribal Nations’ unique cultural and traditional ways. The ND Native Tourism Alliance is excited for this opportunity to work with Buffalo Grande Foundation through tourism.”
