Chief Council
Elder Greyhorn, Chief Thunderhooves, and Chieftess Strongheart all have different visions of our future. All three love the buffalo people, but they disagree dramatically on what should be done to better the buffalo's lot. We must reconcile their differences and select a single course of action. A Council of Chiefs will be called, to choose our future and decide what must be done.

Path of the Warrior
Long ago, buffalo warriors were feared by ponies across the South. When ponies came, they came deferentially, and they gave us respect. Now they steal our land and resources and laugh at our backwardness. How much longer will we endure this shame? Our ancestors were warriors, not cowards, and even when at peace they were feared! After years of humiliation, we will show the world the buffalo still have fire in our blood!
