This is first of a series of 4 pics. I took of a sculpture built into the side of a stone wall. It depicts a sacred buffalo hunt by the Sioux Indians before the white man came to settle in South Dakota. This first one represents a Sioux Warrior on the hunt chasing buffalo or as the Lakota Sioux called them "Tatanka" which means "bull buffalo". Buffalo were extremely important to the survival of the Sioux. They not only provided food, but also shelter,tools,weapons & spiritual inspiration!

Wow, this is amazing how they did this sculpture right into the stone wall. I knew what Tatanka meant, so I thought there had to be a Sioux Indian. In SE Minnesota we a famous movie star which just happens to be a buffalo. Great capture ... beautiful colors.
Into my fav's.

When enlarged, this is really amazing to look at. I have never seen anything like this. How clever of whoever did this. Very clear shot, a great narration to inform us of the history of your state also. Can't wait to see the others! Eileen
