Tatanka

TATANKA | Oil on Panel with Birch Frame

9" x 12" x 2" 

Tatanka refers to the American Bison in the Lakota language, a profoundly sacred and central figure in Plains Indigenous cultures, symbolizing self-sufficiency, generosity, and the very essence of life, providing food, shelter, tools, and spiritual guidance, with the word Tatanka (or Tȟatȟáŋka) representing its immense importance to the people. 

I hope you enjoy this piece as much as I enjoyed creating it. Thank you for helping me live my artistic dream.
