Big Medicine

15.5" x 25" x 14", 60lbs The birth of a white buffalo is so rare that it is a great event, and portends grand blessings to come.This sculpture of the rare white buffalo is named after the best known white buffalo our country hasknown. “Big Medicine” was born in 1933 on a Montana Indian reservation and grew to remarkableproportions. He was 6’ at his hump and 12 feet long from nose to tail.It is the strong positive symbolism that inspired me to create this sculpture. The bison not only hasrepresented abundance and self-sacrifice to plains indigenous peoples, but with the white buffalo, thepromise of a good future, and restored balance to the world.
