Spring has blossomed and the powerful Buffalo bull stands amid the Prairie garden. This is a complete picture of nature's survival tools for the Plains Indian culture of the past. The mighty Buffalo and Mother Earth supply food, shelter, and tools for survival; along with power and energy for the spiritual life and medicinal healings. The equal sides of the painting represent the power of the four wind directions and the four sacred colors of the people on Mother Earth.
