“Tatanka”
Lakota word for Bison
Acrylic on canvas
24x36x1.5”
More than 30,000,000 Bison once roamed the American West. That was before European-Americans appeared. By 1885, because of systematic hunting by these settlers, there were only 325 Bison remaining. Today there are about 20,000.

“Tatanka”
Lakota word for Bison
Acrylic on canvas
24x36x1.5”
More than 30,000,000 Bison once roamed the American West. That was before European-Americans appeared. By 1885, because of systematic hunting by these settlers, there were only 325 Bison remaining. Today there are about 20,000.
The Lakota word for bison, Tatanka, actually means Great Beast. Bison are enormous animals – they can get up to 6.5 feet tall and weigh up to 2,000 pounds. Their incredible weight makes them the heaviest land mammal in North America! Despite their weight, bison are remarkably agile. They can run up to 35 mph and have a vertical leap of six feet.
Being such a huge animal means eating a huge amount of food. Bison are grazers and spend from 9-11 hours every day ingesting up to 1.6% of their body mass in forage. Being a ruminant (an animal that chews their cud and has a complex digestive system), bison can get nutrition from hard, dry forage where other animals cannot. While grazing, bison roam an average of 2 miles every day.
My inspiration for this painting are the bison I saw while visiting the west and the movie “Dances with Wolves”. During this movie a simulated bison stampede shakes the earth as hundreds of thousands Bison run past a fort. My other inspiration was the promise outlined in Genesis 9. I primarily used the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet…to which I added black and white.
