Tanka Bar is built on our ancestors' knowledge of the Ideal Portable Energy for endurance, top performance and healthful life. Based on traditional wasna and pemmican, we combine high-protein, prairie-fed buffalo and tart-sweet cranberries with our secret, patent-pending herbal-based preservative. Then we slow-smoke it to perfection for 9 hours. At only 70 calories, these bars are perfect for today's nomadic Native always on the go! Take some with you next time you hit the trail.
TANKA BAR DETAILS
The 70-calorie Tanka Bar delivers a slow, powerful protein punch by mixing two primary ingredients: low-fat, high-energy American buffalo meat and tasty cranberries. This combination is no accident.
HOW THE TANKA BAR CAME TO BE
When we started working on the recipe for Tanka Bar, we were trying to meld authentic Native ingredients and flavors into a bar that would honor our past, yet fit how we live today. We started with the traditional recipe for wasna, the original Native trail mix, and thought to modernize it. We tried alls sort of ideas to improve on wasna, but each time we added something to the mix, we went further away from what we intended. It could not be improved! We came full circle to see that the traditional flavors were perfect. The Tanka Bar is simply great.
HEIRLOOM RECIPE DELIVERS ENDURANCE
We're convinced our Ancestors knew what they were doing. In times when Native Americans sustained themselves with wasna and other traditional foods, heart disease, diabetes, or obesity were virtually unknown. Tanka products honor their wisdom. Named for the Lakota word for "outstanding" or "great," the Tanka Bar offers powerful protein for your life journey in a bar so good, you can Taste the Energy!

HISTORY OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE BUFFALO AND THE INDIAN
Excerpts from a history written by Richard B. Williams, President and Chief Executive Officer of the American Indian College Fund In the last half of this past century, the United States government promoted a policy of forcing American Indians onto reservations. At the same time the Indians were being forced onto reservations, buffalo were being slaughtered by the thousands. The U.S. military believed that if the buffalo could be eliminated, then the "Indian Problem" in America could be solved. The strategy proved to be successful and as the American Indian drew near extinction, the buffalo was also in danger of becoming extinct.
The United States military's position concerning buffalo was brutally stated by the celebrated Indian hater Gen. Phillip S. Sheridan. "If I could learn that every buffalo in the northern herd were killed I would be glad...The destruction of the herd would do more to keep Indians quiet than anything else that could happen."1
A comparative population analysis of the buffalo and the American Indian show an interesting historical parallel. Both were nearly extinct at the turn of the century. American Indians’ population at the time of Columbus' arrival in the new world was estimated at approximately 72 million in the Western hemisphere and 7 million north of the Rio Grande.2 The American Indian population at the turn of the century was approximately 250,000.3 The buffalo population in the 1840s was estimated at approximately 30 million. At its peak, the buffalo population in North America would have been approximately 60 million.4 The buffalo population at the turn of the century was below 500.
The parallel confinement of the buffalo and the Plains Indian is another interesting example of a corresponding historical relationship between the buffalo and the American Indian. The American Indian was removed to small reservations. The buffalo was fenced and was not allowed to roam as he had in the past. Both were forced onto small areas of land and their freedoms were significantly restricted. …
By eliminating the buffalo and the Indian, the West became vast land bases inhabited by farmers and ranchers who tried to overcome nature and eek out a living in a land that was arid in the summer and brutally harsh in the winter. This resulted in plowing unproductive land, a takeover by alien weeds and grasses, and the eventual devastation of a fragile ecological epoch.
