The Panchen Lama was 6 years old when he and his parents were kidnapped from their home in Tibet by the Chinese government. He is the world's youngest political prisoner and he has been missing for over 4 years. This is just one of the many human rights abuses that have occurred and are ongoing in Tibet right now.

Don is personally involved in fundraising for the Canada Tibet Committee.

Anti-racism and Native Rights issues have always taken a priority for Iron Buffalo. His heart is grieved by the myriad of abuses he has both experienced and seen committed against the People, such as those surrounding the imprisonment of Leonard Peltier, an American Indian Artist, Author & Humanitarian.
