Description

ARTIST: CRYSTAL SNOW

The coats of buffalo are traditionally brown, so when a white buffalo is born, according to Plains Indians tribal lore, it is a sacred sign of good times to come.  The horse is another animal highly revered by Native Americans, so this artist felt a blending of the two would make a striking design that honored both the buffalo and the horse.  Adorned with accompanying symbols-circles around the eyes and nose to see and smell danger, lighting bolts for speed and nimble-footedness and a bear paw to strength.  Tatank Ska (Lakota for white buffalo) represents an icon of hope and positive transformation.
