An American Indian-owned company in South Dakota has gone back to its roots for a healthy, natural energy bar that’s now on the market.

 

It’s called the Tanka Bar and it’s made with South Dakota bison and Wisconsin cranberries.

The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation company came up with the Tanka Bar as a modern-day spinoff of a traditional Lakota food called "wasna" that sustained Great Plains Indians during long trips centuries ago.

The bars launch today at the Black Hills Pow Wow in Rapid City, S.D., and will be available for sale online and eventually at some stores.

A doctor who has written about the benefits of buffalo says the bars are a lot healthier than cheap snacks loaded with processed ingredients.
