“Old Stompin’ Grounds”
16”H x 15”L x 14”D by John Pettis $12,500
Perhaps never before has the intertwined fate of a culture and an animal been so closely evident as the Native American Indian and the Bison. Long before America was settled, these abundant mammals roamed freely,as did the people who survived on their existence. For many Native American tribes hunting bison was an absolute necessity for life. Considered by many as one of God’s most sacred creatures the American bison not only fed the First Nations people, it shaped their beliefs and religious ceremonies. Here a Blackfoot Indian fights ferociously to survive the charging beast and stay upon his prized horse. The back of the sculpture depicts a type of hunting technique where herds were driven over a cliff formation. These buffalo jumps or as the Blackfoot Indians called them “pishkun”, exist across North America with the oldest dating back over 12,000 years .
Buffalo Jump Scene
The backside of the sculpture is where John sculpted a small scene of a buffalo jump, a Native American hunting technique that can be seen here in full action.
