It comes from so many places. I drew this Buffawhoa while watching a documentary on Native Americans. Their relationships with the land and the animals that live with them really made me feel like we are missing out on something. The buffalo was such a huge part of their lives and to me it sounded as if it was a celestial being and not just food. The buffalo was powerful and possessed a type of magic.

This is a Buffalo Dancer. There is a story about the origins of the Buffalo Dance here. I really enjoy that there is a give and a take. That to take life is respected by honouring that life. Life and death are both sacred both veerry magical.
