The Buffalo Way is to walk into the storms of life, to not procrastinate, to take ownership and to never give up.”
— Camille Pablo Russell

Camille Pablo Russell

“Shooting in the Air"

Native to the Southern Alberta Blackfoot Blood Tribe (Treaty 7 Territory), Pablo grew up in the old ways with his grandparents who lived true to the traditional life, where the oral tradition of sharing ways and wisdom were a vital part of belonging , learning to walk a good road and cultural preservation. Pablo has pledged his life on service to the stories, spreading deep and simple truths that cut through the modern haze for people all over the world.

Pablo carries broad historical and practical knowledge about the Prairie Indian's  original way of life, and like his grandparents he is an excellent storyteller. His talks inspire and motivate people in a profound way and speak to an awakened awareness of sound leadership, real mental health and true personal development. His messages empowers us to face adversity to achieve success through ownership, humility, forgiveness, and unconditional love.

Traditional Blackfoot territory stretches north to the North Saskatchewan River, south to the Yellowstone River, west to the Rocky Mountains, and east to the Cypress Hills. This is the land we live on, the place we pray takes mercy upon us.
