Original artwork description:

The bison, often called buffalo, were a vital part of everyday life for the Native Americans. They were essential for the nomadic tribes that used every part of the bison, tatanka in Lakota. Hides used for lodges, teepees. Bones and teeth used for tools. Meat for food. The bison also considered the bison to be sacred and it was a part of many of their ceremonies. It was “The gift from Wakhan Thanka”, God.

As you develop your awareness in nature, you begin to see how we influence all life. And how all life influences us. A key and critical feature for us to know.
~ Tony Ten Fingers/ Wanbli Nata'U - Oglala Lakota
