What backs it

On September 19 and 20, a herd of 50 life-sized buffalo puppets will walk the streets of Lower Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn in 'Return of the Buffalo: Tatanka Owe Akupi,' created by Amir Nizar Zuabi -- the team behind Little Amal -- in partnership with Lenape and Lakota elders. 150 New Yorkers will operate the puppets, joined by gospel choirs, dance troupes, and marching bands, with audiences invited to walk with the herd.

Worth noting

This is an upcoming event, September 19-20; exact route details are still to be announced.
