In Buffalo Dreams, Josh Townsend is initially resistant to the move to New Mexico, feeling awkward and out of place in his new environment. However, things start to change for him when he meets Thomas Blackhorse, a Native American teen who is trying to save the buffalo from extinction.
As Josh gets to know Thomas and his friends, he becomes fascinated by the Navajo culture and traditions surrounding the buffalo. Together, they work to protect the buffalo, which are being threatened by a local rancher who wants to sell them for profit.
As Josh becomes more involved with the group, he learns about the importance of respecting and preserving different cultures and traditions. He also begins to appreciate the beauty of his new home and the unique experiences it offers.
Along the way, there are some lighthearted moments as Josh and his new friends navigate teenage life and relationships. But ultimately, the film's message is one of acceptance, understanding, and the importance of preserving our planet's natural wonders.
