"Thundering Spirits of the Plains"

Beneath a sky split with light and shadow, the great herds thundered across the open prairie—an ocean of muscle, spirit, and ancient breath. To the Lakota, the bison were more than life—they were sacred kin, a gift from the Creator that sustained body and soul.

In this moment, the earth itself seems to rise and move, as if the ancestors run alongside the herd. The heavy hooves stir the wind, the mist becomes their memory, and the grasses bow low in reverence. The storm clouds are not just weather; they are the Great Spirit's heartbeat, echoing the pulse of a land alive and untamed.

Every droplet, every run of watercolor across the scene tells a story: survival, abundance, prayer. It is not just a stampede—it is a song of life, a reminder that the spirit of the buffalo, and the people who honored them, still runs wild through the beating heart of the plains.
