VERSO
Titled
In discussing buffalo hunting the artist wrote, “The Plains Indians were dependent upon the buffalo for nearly all of their needs, including the food they ate and the hides for their robes and their tipis. Everything was used, even the bones and sinew for tools and sewing.… With horses the Indians could outrun the buffalo, and were assured of an ample supply of food whenever buffalo could be located.”
