Jaedin Christopher Medicine Elk, co-founder of the bison advocacy group, Roam Free Nation, is Northern Cheyenne (Tsis tsis'tas), a Sundancer and Sacred Pipe Carrier from a traditional Buffalo Culture family. He was born and raised in southeast Montana and other than spending a few years in Colorado and North Dakota, has lived in Montana his whole life. Jaedin was mostly raised by his grandmother, Rosalie Bird Woman, who is one of the few who speak and teach the Northern Cheyenne language to the youth today. Jaedin has spent many years standing in defense of his relatives, the last wild, migratory buffalo of Yellowstone country.
