About Tishynah Buffalo
Tishynah Buffalo was a fashion designer.
Tishynah Buffalo is an Indigenous fashion designer from Alexander First Nation in Canada but now residing in Gordon First Nation. Buffalo is perhaps best known for making Pendleton jackets with a modern twist. Her work has been shown at a number of fashion shows such as Fashion Speaks Regina, Western Canada Fashion Week, International Indigenous Fashion Week, and Couture Fashion Week in New York City.
As a young teenager, Buffalo noticed the lack of representation of indigenous peoples in the media, specifically in fashion magazines. In an interview with CBC News in Edmonton, Canada, Buffalo said that "[she] wanted to be the one to show the people in the world [ Cree] Indigenous creativity."
Buffalo's current work consists of mainly designs including the patterns of Pendleton blankets and Cree beading styles.
