Bison were almost hunted to extinction by European colonizers. Today, Indigenous tribes are at the forefront of bison recovery bringing them back to treaty lands. Their ancient wisdom reveals that Bison heal by reversing damage to ecosystems. Built to keep moving, bison don't overdo their stay in one area. Instead natural behaviors like grazing patterns create nesting areas for birds. Their hooves aerate the soil for seeds to grow. As they wallow and roll around, they create depressions that fill with rain, serving as pools for amphibians, insects and are sources of drinking water for wildlife. Darrell Westika's mighty buffalo with turquoise eyes has been carved from sandstone to a size of approximately 7" long, 3 1/4" wide and 4 1/4" tall. We love the natural grainy feel of the sandstone, while the intricate etching beautifully details the head and hump regions.
