高等教育通常被称为“新水牛”，对于原住民和加拿大社会的未来来说是一个有争议但至关重要的问题。虽然原住民坚持认为接受高等教育和资助高等教育是原住民和条约权利，但加拿大政府坚持认为高等教育是一项社会计划，他们的责任有限。在《新布法罗》中，布莱尔·斯通柴尔德追溯了原住民高等教育政策的历史，从最初作为政府同化和文化压制的工具，到其作为原住民自决和自治手段的发展。凭借对原住民教育系统的第一手知识和个人经验，斯通柴尔德不仅分析了统计数据和政策原则，还揭示了原住民和加拿大人在受教育机会方面的惊人差距、非原住民在项目开发中的持续主导地位，以及为获得原住民管理机构的认可而进行的持续斗争。
Post-secondary education, often referred to as "the new buffalo," is a contentious but critically important issue for First Nations and the future of Canadian society. While First Nations maintain that access to and funding for higher education is an Aboriginal and Treaty right, the Canadian government insists that post-secondary education is a social program for which they have limited responsibility. In The New Buffalo, Blair Stonechild traces the history of Aboriginal post-secondary education policy from its earliest beginnings as a government tool for assimilation and cultural suppression to its development as means of Aboriginal self-determination and self-government. With first-hand knowledge and personal experience of the Aboriginal education system, Stonechild goes beyond merely analyzing statistics and policy doctrine to reveal the shocking disparity between Aboriginal and Canadian access to education, the continued dominance of non-Aboriginals over program development, and the ongoing struggle for recognition of First Nations run institutions.
