Buffalo

[larson1951]

i don't know if this belongs here but i am thinking a lot of you tnetters might enjoy as many artifacts were made from the great Tatonka (buffalo)
the horns and skulls, the scapula (shoulder blades used for hoes and shovels, squash knives, spoons, scrapers,
the ribs were used to make arrow shaft wrenches, the ribs were also used for making sled runners and stakes,the skulls were used for ceremonials,
the meat was used and used to make pemmican, the hides were used for clothing, sheltering and to make the round boats to navigate the missouri river and other waters,
and many other things which most of you already know


this is a few pictures that my sister in law Tamakewastewin LaDonna took the other day just north of fort yates up towards cannonball where a nice buffalo ranch is
this is south of Mandan north dakota she likes being able to watch them as she drives to work at the Standing Rock Sioux reservation, she is the director of tourism
this is a picture of the buffalo bull boats
when i was a kid they had a real one at the nd state museum and i would always look at it

Nice pictures for sure. I camped on the river bottom in the black hills back in the 80s (will have to check the map to remember the river name). We awoke to find our tents surrounded by buffalo. I think we jumped back in the tents and waited for the dust to clear. North Dakota is a really great place to vacation. The hunting laws are awesome and the walleye fishing is the best. And the weather has low humidity. I always like to check the winter temps even today. I had people say Alaska was warmer. LOL. Thanks for the pics Larson!

hey thanks
not only a great place to vacation it's a great place to live
i can go see those white buffalo in an hour and a half drive
also that first herd that Tamakewastewin looks at, i can get there in a little over a half hour
i live a mile from the missouri river which is full of walleye sauger and catfish
there is a buffalo packing plant at grand river so buffalo roasts and burgers can be had easy
time to go HH'ing
