A Little
History, A Sad Story And A Great Story About The American Buffalo
It must be said that the American Buffalo was, at one time; the mainstay
of Native American life. At one time in America there where tens of thousands
of them running in the wild in large herds. It's been estimated that at
one time in America there were about 50 million buffalo rooming the American
Plains. Native Americans hunted them for food and every piece of the Buffalo
was used for something. The meat was their main food source. The hides
were used for clothing and shelter. The buffalo horn and bones were used
in ceremonies and religious practices. Because of a bad immigration policy
which let the white man come into their land, the American Buffalo was
slandered into extinction by the white man mainly out of greed and to
make Native Americans starve and force them onto reservations. By the
1870's, with the encouragement of the US Government, huge buffalo herds
were being slaughtered by the thousands just for the sport of it. It wasn't
uncommon for travelers in the West to come upon vast buffalo herds consisting
of herds of dead buffalo shot by white man simply rotting away in the
hot sun. White man almost slaughtered them into obliviation. Fortunately
today, many Native American tribes are raising, herding and processing
buffalo again. Buffalo is a high energy, low calorie, low fat and low
cholesterol food. You will want to try the new rage in energy foods called
Tanka Bars and Tanka bites. Just click on the link below for more information.
The buffalo is a very scared animal to the Native American and has powerful meaning. To the Native American the buffalo gives one endurance, provides great emotional courage, and the buffalo itself is the provider to all. The buffalo is also a symbol of abundance to the American Indian as there was at one time more of them in America than there were people.
White Buffalo: A White Buffalo, which is rare, has very special meaning to the Native American. It is considered a sacred sign when one is born and has great spiritual importance in many Native American cultures and are often visited for prayer and various religious ceremonies. White Buffalos are a spiritual blessing.
The Buffalo Dance: Many Native American tribes have a Buffalo Dance as part of their religious ceremonies. The picture above is of a Buffalo Dancer. It is a great honor to dance this dance. The Buffalo Dancer is a dance to give thanks. The Buffalo Dancer is thought to take on the spirit of the Buffalo.

This stunning museum quality Frederic Remington Bronze is highly impressive! Although photos really do not do it justice, we find this fine work of art one of the most interesting Indian Bronze Sculptures ever created! The Owner of Tribal Impressions Gallery fell in love with this one and wanted to keep it but the staff convinced him it needs to be sold. He simply calls it "Indian Trouble!" The Indian was obviously buffalo hunting on his horse but the horse gets to the buffalo and decides to jump it. As you can see, the horse might not make it and the faith of the Indian certainly lies in the balance of rather the horse makes the jump or not. The event quickly turns from what's for dinner to will I be alive by dinner time. This finely detailed museum quality replica of the priceless original is in very very limited supply but Tribal Impressions has managed to obtain one and one only issued with a name plate that says Tribal Impressions on it. It's currently on display in our showroom. |
