The buffalo moved in herds.

The Dakota, Lakota, & Nakota people had to move with them. They lived a nomadic lifestyle. They followed the buffalo to new grasslands or pastures. Hunting was hard before white people brought horses to the Americas. Most of the tribe had to help hunt the buffalo. The people would herd the animals into a canyon or corral. One of these ancient “kill sites” is found neear the town of Buffalo, South Dakota.

“Crowning of a Sioux Chief” Bronze

“Crowning of a Sioux Chief”, Limited Edition/10, Bronze

“I cured with the power that came through me. Of course, it was not I who cured, it was the power from the Outer World, the visions and the ceremonies had only made me like a hole through which the power could come to the two-leggeds”. “If I thought that I was doing it myself, the hole would closeup and no power could come through. Then everything I could do would be foolish”.-Black Fish

“Watch Your Top Knot” Precast Bronze

Precast bronze “Watch Your Top Knot”, limited edition/12.

This 12″scale piece will be patinaed as a snow sculpture. Watch what you have worked for, especially presently. Everything you have worked for and that you think is secure, could all fall apart in your plan A if someone or something tries to jeapordize your safety net. Nip it in the bud by keeping an eye on the final things you have done so you can stay tighly grounded. If the top knot comes loose, then everything you built to get there can become weaken and shaky. Watch the top knot, check it daily, then everything you harvest will reap great reward, just as you had planned. “Watch Your Top Knot”, and good-bye…
