This year was one of Value, Valuation, and Validation. Our first Directors meeting took a long look at our mission statement, purpose and are we fulfilling our highest intentions and objectives. We set the intention that this was the year to grow, expand our outreach and plan for improvements. We decided to update and revise our business plan and goals to fit the times and where we presently are. We took inventory and recorded throughout the yearOur Hunt/Harvest Season seemed to be different this year, the participants were so diverse and from every corner of America. We also facilitated more trauma victims (military, police) disabled and Elderly. Whole families attended, bringing friends, relatives and youth for the Sacred instructions of the honoring and collaborative ways to harvest with gratitude. The feedback was enormous and the rebooking for the next season unprecedented we sold out our next season before completing this one, a first ever. Validation!The Buffalo also had their year of recognition. The grasslands were rich and verdant and they thrived. We had not fed hay during winter (a first) and decided to let the hayfield rest. Many came to view, witness and just be on the land with them. Among them was Doc Woerner, a veterinarian and nationally known leader and advocate for the Buffalo. He said he loved and admired our herd and free grazing managementmore than any other! So much so he paid my way to attend a Summer Conference of The National Bison Association and The American Prairie Foundation. This was life changing and revealing. It was stunning to realize how unique and successful our Buffalo Program is. So much so, I was asked to be a key speaker at the 2025 Winter Conference! Validation indeed for our years of dedication and unwavering commitmentespecially on such a modest budget. Evaluating our income, budget and forecast we were reminded of the enormous gift we have in our people. Volunteers who truly are the backbone of our ability to function. The master mechanic who overhauls, upgrades and repairs all of our trucks and ATVs, being reimbursed only for parts and materialsall for the privilege of being on the land and with the Buffalo. Those who repair and fence for the fun of it! Those who care for the grounds and trees because they just love coming and being here! Those who come in on snowmobiles, bring supplies and break trail when I am snowed in. All of this is value beyond currency. Speaking of currency, our business bank accounts were hacked, we miraculously caught it in time and all was made secure and improvements were made. A learning experience for sure but there was good to balance itin August we were approached by and began lengthy conferences with a large privately held funding source of grant monies for nonprofits engaged in animal and land reclamation and sustainability. We are still engaged as SGI identifies and clarifies the use of such fundsproposed millionskeeping it real, grounded and true to our purpose.This year we repaired fences, built and repaired crossings in remote areas for better access. We had challenges of weather, trespassing of neighbor cattle, our Buffalo trespassing on neighbors and big retrieval efforts brought us all closer and more helpful to one another. True value!A very good year indeed. Now we focus on expansion, greater outreach and infrastructure to support what appears to be an even greater need and call for sharing our programs, education, experiential studies and research and most importantly the absolute value of every living Being and our need to respect, honor and collaborate with each other, the environment, the entire world around us for the betterment of all. We are grateful for the blessings and way forward. 81964 81964 TANAH WHITEMORE President/Treas 40.00 3735 BAERBEL STUETZLE Director 2.00 0 IXCHEL LEIGH Secretary 1.00 0 GENEVIEVE BOAST Vice President 1.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false TANAH WHITEMORE PO BOX 78 PRYOR MT 59066 4062456070 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 3533 3990 11856 15872 6573 41824 0 0 3533 3990 11856 15872 6573 41824 0 41824 3 3 8 32 2 48 0 0 41872 312119 0.99890 0.99890 X Other Revenue.1 MISC REIMBURSEMENTS/SALES $530 Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $391 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $6150 Other Expenses.1008 Interest $2406 Other Expenses.1009 Depreciation $17034 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $1738 Other Expenses.1 RANCH FOOD & SUPPLIES $8513 Other Expenses.2 AUTO EXPENSE $8430 Other Expenses.3 PROPERTY TAXES $4790 Other Expenses.4 DUES AND FEES $3974 Other Expenses.5 FEED $2706 Other Expenses.6 FUEL $2374 Other Expenses.7 RANCH/SUPPLIES $2334 Other Expenses.8 LEASE EXPENSE $2291 Other Expenses.9 VET AND ANIMAL SUPPLIES $2062 Other Expenses.10 REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE $1488 Other Expenses.11 BUFFALO PROCESSING $655 Other Expenses.12 POSTAGE $268 Other Expenses.13 CEREMONIAL SUPPLIES $174 Other Expenses.14 FENCING $150 Other Expenses.15 MISCELLANEOUS $77 Other Expenses.16 EQUIPMENT RENTAL $24 Other Assets.1 AUTOMOBILES - Beginning $22873 AUTOMOBILES - Ending $42337 Other Assets.2 MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT - Beginning $1820 MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT - Ending $1334 Total Liabilities.1001 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Beginning $8437 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Ending $13369 Total Liabilities.1007 Secured Mortgages and Notes Payable - Beginning $10452 Secured Mortgages and Notes Payable - Ending $23695 Total Liabilities.1008 Unsecured Notes and Loans Payable - Beginning $13000 Unsecured Notes and Loans Payable - Ending $13000 Total Liabilities.1 SBA LOAN - Beginning $19300 SBA LOAN - Ending $18933
