  • Yellowstone – Wild & Beautiful This image and a number of others are all part of my venture to Yellowstone National Park in June 2008. For those of you watching my brother, my father, and me, you might see some similar shots since we all visited Yellowstone together. What is interesting is to see how each of use see some of the same sights through a different eye. / / Over the next few weeks you will see more and more postings from this venture. I hope you enjoy the series. / / Please View Larger

  • The Great American Buffalo, or Bison, symbolizes sacredness, life, great strength, abundance, gratitude, and builder of life. Buffalo provides all good things for living, and bestows great curing powers. Nearly rubbed out permanently by unscrupulous white men in the 19th century. Today, Buffalo flourishes and are raised by many nations of Native Peoples in North America. / The Hawk sign in the center of the Buffalo skull is my sign. / Artwork by Zeke Sena, New Mexico, USA.

  • Illustrating Buffalo is a favorite subject of mine, as is Eagle. My Buffalo shield is set against a Buffalo hide backdrop.

  • Abundance – The buffalo or bison is considered by many tribes to be a symbol of abundance for it was the meat of the buffalo that fed the people, the hides that provided clothing and shelter, the bones and sinew provided tools of survival. Sacred, Noble.

  • The Buffalo was one of the most respected animals among American Indians. Its spirit was praised before every hunt with a tribal ritual dance. The buffalo supplied virtually everything that the Indians needed to stay alive; food, clothing, tools, and housing. These noble beasts were virtually wiped out by unscrupulous persons attempting to eradicate the primary food supply of the Indian. The featured warrior is Kiowa Apache, Ah Keah Boat, known as “Two Hatchet.”

  • ‘Tatanka Ska’ means White Buffalo in Lakota. Buffalo represents Prayer and Abundance….the herds provided food, clothing and shelter to the Plains People.

It is about the understanding that abundance is ours when we honor all Life as sacred and give thanks for all that we have been given. Buffalo inspires us to connect with the true meaning of Life. The White Buffalo is especially sacred to the Lakota people, as its story & prophecy have been told and retold for generations among them. Legend of the White Buffalo
